Anne Killigrew Neville, the First Folio, and Literary Estate Management

Topic: Anne Killigrew Neville, the First Folio, and Literary Estate Management

1. Verified Sourced Facts

• Anne Killigrew Neville survived Henry Neville and later married George Carleton, Bishop of Chichester; the main Anne packet preserves local source trails and a printed 1622 dedication naming her as wife to the Bishop of Chichester.
• George Carleton's Astrologomania was printed by William Jaggard in 1624, one year after the First Folio; the dedicated Carleton and Astrologomania packets preserve that bibliographical fact.
• No direct source has yet been extracted showing Anne's involvement in the First Folio or in Shakespeare manuscript management.

2. Ken Feinstein Twitter and Blog Information

• Ken's First Folio Twitter file states that Anne Killigrew Neville is likely a key figure in Shakespeare authorship research and may have had some role in compiling and publishing the First Folio.
• TWITTER_BOOK_ADDITIONS.md argues that Anne's education, Killigrew/Sidney connections, widowhood, and post-1615 position make her an important research subject for literary-estate transmission.
• This packet preserves that as a lead, not a sourced conclusion.

3. Quoted Source Text
