Best Answer

The First Folio was the first Collected Works edition of Shakespeare's plays; it was the work of his fellow actors John Heminges and Henry Condell, and came out in 1623, some seven years after Shakespeare's death. However, many of the plays had been published earlier. A "first edition" of Romeo and Juliet would be dated 1597.
