Book Description
Excerpt from Shakespeare Tercentenary Commemoration, 1616-1916: Shakespeare's Birthplace; Catalogue of an Exhibition of Original Documents of the Xvith and Xviith Centuries Preserved in Stratford-Upon-Avon, Illustrating Shakespeare's Life in the Town The main portion of the exhibited documents consists of thirty-nine original records of the 16th and 17th centuries, which are the property either of the Corporation of stratford-upon-avon or of the Shakespeare's Birthplace Trustees. The thanks of the Trustees are due to the Corporation for the opportunity which has been accorded them of bringing together the two sets of archives, which are invaluable complements of one another. The thirty-nine documents which belong to the two Stratford repertories are fully described in this Catalogue. They present all the dominant phases of Shakespeare's career as a citizen of stratford-upon-avon. The first section introduces us to the dramatist's father, during his son's youth, in such capacities as borough-chamberlain (or municipal chancellor of the exchequer), as householder and landowner. The remaining sec tions furnish tangible proofs of Shakespeare's acquisition of a substantial estate in the town and neighbourhood, of his practical interest in municipal affairs, of his friendly intercourse with his fellow townsmen, of his part in local litigation, and lastly of the succession to his local property after his death of his elder daughter and of her only child, the poet's grand-daughter and his last direct descendant. An Appendix to this Catalogue describes a further series of documents Of cognate interest and importance, Of which the Trustees possess carefully executed facsimiles, although the originals are preserved in repositories outside stratford-upon-avon. These facsimiles include many items of vital significance. Promin ent among them are copies Of Shakespeare's fill, the original Of which is in Somerset House, and Of three other documents bearing Shakespeare's autograph signature. The greater number of the Originals of these facsimiles is housed in the Public Record Office. The Trustees believe that by extending their present survey to the documentary sources of Shakespeare's biography which exist outside stratford-upon-avon, they are efficiently serving the interests of Shakespearean scholarship.
