商品簡介
Archaeologists, architecture historians, and theater scholars explore the local history of Stratford-upon-Avon, focusing on the survival of a group of medieval buildings near the center of the market town and on the theater that was performed there during Shakespeare's time. The Guild Chapel, the Guildhall, the Pedagogue's House, and the Almshouses drew the threads of the 16th-century town's civic life together. The topics include the Guild of the Holy Cross and its buildings, humanism and the new grammar school, the Stratford Court of Record 1553-1601, professional theater in the Guildhall 1568-1620, and the Queen's Men in Stratford and the troublesome reign of King John.
