- Information
Description
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. -- .
