work in two poems in the First Folio. His greatest contribution to the book was more subtle. His aggressive intellect was matched by a self-confidence that led him, in 1616, to publish a collected edition of his own plays and poems called <em>Workes<\/em>. Attracting both criticism and praise, Jonson\u2019s book set a precedent for printing a collected edition of creative work that stood as a monument to its author. This paved the way for a similar collection to memorialise Shakespeare.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-758a99f elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"758a99f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"#castcarousel\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon elementor-align-icon-left\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Back to top<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-df646d6 elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"df646d6\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1e7b653 elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"1e7b653\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e2abc8d elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"e2abc8d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"droeshout\" class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b266376 elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"b266376\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\"><div class=\"folio-bar trans\"><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fa99b4e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fa99b4e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wrap-img wp-image-1052 size-large alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/folio400.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Martin-Droeshout-819x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/folio400.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Martin-Droeshout-819x1024.png 819w, https:\/\/folio400.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Martin-Droeshout-240x300.png 240w, https:\/\/folio400.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Martin-Droeshout-768x960.png 768w, https:\/\/folio400.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Martin-Droeshout-1229x1536.png 1229w, https:\/\/folio400.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Martin-Droeshout.png 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p><h4>Martin Droeshout<\/h4><p>Martin Droeshout (1601\u2013c1650) was hired to engrave the portrait of William Shakespeare for the title-page of the First Folio.

It is sometimes speculated that he was the \u2018Mr W.H.\u2019 to whom Thomas Thorpe dedicated his 1609 publication of Shakespeare\u2019s sonnets (though disputed due to its informal style of address). As Lord Chamberlain from 1615, William Herbert was probably responsible for suppressing the so-called Pavier quartos of 1619. The First Folio includes a dedication by Heminge and Condell to William and his brother Philip: \u2018the most noble and incomparable pair of brethren&#8217;.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b526b72 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"b526b72\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"#castcarousel\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon elementor-align-icon-left\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Back to top<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3d74a8d elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3d74a8d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f237130 elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"f237130\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c798e41 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"c798e41\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"montgomery\" class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d1e8f1c elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"d1e8f1c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\"><div class=\"folio-bar trans\"><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f99691d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f99691d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wrap-img wp-image-1056 size-large alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/folio400.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Philip-Earl-of-Montgomery-819x1024.png\" alt=\"Philip Earl of Montgomery\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/folio400.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Philip-Earl-of-Montgomery-819x1024.png 819w, https:\/\/folio400.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Philip-Earl-of-Montgomery-240x300.png 240w, https:\/\/folio400.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Philip-Earl-of-Montgomery-768x961.png 768w, https:\/\/folio400.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Philip-Earl-of-Montgomery-1228x1536.png 1228w, https:\/\/folio400.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Philip-Earl-of-Montgomery.png 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p><h4>Philip, Earl of Montgomery<\/h4><p>Philip Herbert, 1st Earl of Montgomery (1584\u20131650) was, like his elder brother William, a noted figure in the court of King James.
