Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Study of London in the Reign of Queen Elizabeth
Composed as a study of the London environment of Shakespeare, of the scenes and circumstances amid which his plays were originally produced, this little work, by the addition of the Itinerary now made to it, may serve the purpose of a Guide to Shakespeare's London, Past and Present. The Commentary, how ever, is limited to the life and work of the poet in London: the Itinerary itself follows the same lines. Of the London which Shakespeare knew there are happily existing more reliques than are noticed in these pages: in the city are churches which he may have visited, which could hardly be included in a practical working Itinerary. These may be added to the suggested perambulations according to con venience and opportunity.
