The Furness Memorial (Shakespeare) Library, Department of Special
Collections, Van Pelt-Dietrich Library, University of Pennsylvania, was
begun by Horace Howard Furness, Sr., and continued by Horace Howard
Furness, Jr., to make possible their work on the Variorum Edition of the
works of William Shakespeare. In 1933, Horace Howard Furness, Jr., donated
the Library to Penn. A collection of primary and secondary sources,
including both texts and images, that illuminate the theater, literature,
and history of Shakespeare, Shakespearean texts, theatrical production, and criticism, Furness Library
resources are now being selectively scanned and mounted here to make them
available for class and research use and to draw attention to the richer
resources available in the Library as a whole. We welcome responses to
what is here (please send comments to ryan@pobox.upenn.edu).
