What is the First Folio?

The First Folio describes the first, officially published texts of William Shakespeare's plays, which were produced in 1623, seven years after Shakespeare's death. The word "folio" simply describes the size of paper on which they were printed, and is used to differentiate them from unofficial "quarto" editions published during Shakespeare's lifetime. Again, "quarto" describes the size of the paper on which they were printed.


What is the name of shakespeares work published after he dies?

Posthumous. This means "after death". All of Shakespeare's poetry which was published at all was first published when he was alive. The same cannot be said of the plays. Some sixteen or seventeen of the plays, including such well-known ones as Macbeth, Julius Caesar, The Tempest and As You Like It were first published in the omnibus volume known as the First Folio in 1623, seven years after Shakespeare's death. One play was first published in 1634 as a separate publication. Of course the plays had been performed many times and were well known before Shakespeare died, but they had not been published.
