Shakespeare's London 1613 offers for the first time a comprehensive
'biography' of this crucial year in English history. The book
examines political and cultural life in London, including the
Jacobean court and the city, which together witnessed an
exceptional outpouring of cultural experiences and transformative
political events. The royal family had to confront the sudden death
of Prince Henry, heir apparent to the throne, which provoked
unparalleled grief. Meanwhile, an unprecedented number of plays
performed at court helped move the country away from sadness to the
happy occasion of Princess Elizabeth's marriage to a German prince.
Shakespeare's productions dominated London's cultural landscape,
while other playwrights, writers and printers produced an
extraordinary number of books. Readers interested in literature,
cultural history, and the royal family will find in this book a
rich and accessible account of this monumental year. -- .
