Shakespeare on Recordis a unique guide to major Shakespeare discoveries and the archival insight that made them possible. With contributions from experts at The National Archives, the Folger Shakespeare Library and leading universities, the book explores and explains the bureaucratic processes and governmental practices that shaped life and records in Renaissance England - making it a key resource for both Shakespeare scholars and researchers of early modern lives. Chapters examine key documents concerning property, the law, coats of arms and investments, which relate to Shakespeare's lives in both Stratford and London. Several of The National Archives' collection of over 120 documents which illuminate Shakespeare's life are profiled here for the first time. Richly illustrated throughout, this is a key resource for both Shakespeare scholars and researchers of early modern lives.

Recenzii

If you know anyone who still believes the myth that there is no evidence of Shakespeare's life, give them this book for Christmas! It is a superb account of the archival process, paying homage to those who have immersed themselves in the records and showcasing compelling new findings.
The examples provided by the authors here included demonstrate how much our interpretation of Shakespeare's life can be reshaped from a careful study of those manuscripts that remain. In the end one comes away wondering what other unexpected dimensions might yet be disclosed.
