British Shakespearean scholar JOHN DOVER WILSON (1881-1969) is best remembered for his explications of the Bard, particularly his acclaimed 1935 work What Happens in Hamlet. Here, however, he takes a rather more oblique approach to enlightening us to the world of Shakespeare, gathering together in this 1913 volume writings by contemporaries of the playwright’s-some famous, some not-that illuminate the artistic society and ordinary life of Elizabethan England. Discover what the firsthand observers of the day thought about: - English snobbery - country sports - festivals and revelry - superstition, ghosts, and astrology - parenting and children - impressions of London - the plague - playhouses and bear-gardens - the actor and his craft - house and home - rogues and vagabonds - and much, much more
