Second Folio is the term applied to the 1632 edition of the works of William Shakespeare, following upon the First Folio of 1623. Much language was updated; there are almost 1,700 changes from the First Folio. The major partners in the First Folio had passed from the publishing scene by the time of the Second Folio: William Jaggard had died in 1623, and his son Isaac died in 1627. Edward Blount, the third major partner, had sold his rights to Shakespearean plays to Robert Allot in 1630, and then died in 1632. Allot thus became the prime mover in the creation of the Second Folio.
