Paperblanks Embellished Shakespeare Manuscript Wrap (7 x 9)

Hold a replica excerpt of Shakespeare's only known 'foul papers' with this Paperblanks Embellished Shakespeare Manuscript Wrap Journal. Reproducing a page of the collaboratively written (and subsequently banned) play Sir Thomas More, this is the only known fragment of a play in Shakespeare's own hand. In this excerpt, he passionately defends refugees and displaced persons in a literary style that recalls his work in Coriolanus, Troilus and Cressida, and Pericles, Prince of Tyre.

The created patina of this Paperblanks Shakespeare notebook is simply lovely. The sturdy 100% recycled boards encircle beautiful 60 pound weight paper created to inspire your own compositions. Harvested from sustainable forests, this laid, vellum-finish paper has an extremely high opacity rating, and takes ink beautifully. A fabric-reinforced rear expandable pocket holds your mementos, a cloth ribbon place holder keeps you on the right page and a strong Smythe-sewn binding keeps those pages exactly where they belong. We love this journal as a tangible recollection of England's greatest playwright; perhaps you'll find it inspires your own composition!
