The Second Folio refers to the second collected edition of the works of William Shakespeare, published in 1632. It followed the first folio, released in 1623, and included 36 plays. This edition is significant because it provided a more accurate text of Shakespeare's works, correcting errors found in the first folio. In addition to the plays, the Second Folio featured a dedication to King Charles I and included a list of the plays in alphabetical order. It is considered an important resource for scholars studying Shakespeare's writing and the history of English literature.
