This ground-breaking book provides an abundance of fresh insights
into Shakespeare's life in relation to his lost family home, New
Place. The findings of a major archaeological excavation encourage
us to think again about what New Place meant to Shakespeare and, in
so doing, challenge some of the long-held assumptions of
Shakespearian biography. New Place was the largest house in the
borough and the only one with a courtyard. Shakespeare was only
ever an intermittent lodger in London. His impressive home gave
Shakespeare significant social status and was crucial to his
relationship with Stratford-upon-Avon. Archaeology helps to inform
biography in this innovative and refreshing study which presents an
overview of the site from prehistoric times through to a richly
nuanced reconstruction of New Place when Shakespeare and his family
lived there, and beyond. This attractively illustrated book is for
anyone with a passion for archaeology or Shakespeare. -- .
