Stratford made the man, but London made the phenomenon that is
Shakespeare. This volume takes an historical approach to
Shakespeare's connections with London. It explores Stratford's
various links with the capital, significant locations for
Shakespeare's work, people with whom he associated, his resistance
to pressure from the City authorities, and the cultural diversity
of early modern London. Among many aspects of his life in the City
and its environs, it covers the playhouses in Shoreditch, his
associations with Bishopsgate, his brother Edmund's residence on
Bankside, and elements of London life that went into the making of
Falstaff. Being 'forest born', he was always an outsider and could
never have been, or felt, accepted as a citizen. We find him
repeatedly a sojourner in the City, on the move. His home and
family lay in Stratford. Despite his success in the capital, we
might almost imagine him to have been a reluctant Londoner.
Shakespeare and London draws on a range of documentary sources
including City parish registers, county sessions records and the
archives of London's Bridewell Hospital. It sets out details about
those who inhabited Shakespeare's milieu, or played some part in
shaping his writing and acting career. This volume is Ideal reading
for undergraduates, graduates, and specialists of Shakespeare
studies.
