THE LONDON OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE/ELIZABETHAN AND JACOBEAN TIMES

Shakespeare was active in London from the 1590s to 1616. This was a time of cultural advances stimulated by the glittering Elizabethan period and the growing consciousness of Renaissance ideas. This course will put into focus the great period of theatre at that time: it will particularly use the texts of plays, maps and panoramas and the importance of archaeology in recent years to recreate the whole range of life in the city.


This lecture will recreate the physical appearance of London and the rich tapestry of life from palace court to the red-light district of the Bankside: the “great forge” where Shakespeare honed his genius.
