The H.H. Furness Memorial Library focuses on the study of Shakespeare and other Tudor and Stuart dramatists. Horace Howard
Furness (1833-1912) and his son Horace Howard Furness Jr. (1865-1930) founded and edited the Variorum Shakespeare and their
library was donated to the University of Pennsylvania in 1932. This collection contains personal correspondence to and from
Rev. William Henry Furness (1802-1896), Horace Howard Furness, and Horace Howard Furness, Jr., largely relating to Shakespearean
study and the H.H. Furness Memorial library; notebooks; copies of speeches and articles; and other assorted items relating
to Shakespearean scholarship or to the Furness family.
