 Chapter Excerpt: William Shakespeare by Anthony Holden   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
But Henry Shakespeare, a colourful character in constant trouble with the law, certainly was Richard's son, John's younger brother, the future poet's uncle — and the fl sheep of the family.
Henry also pioneered the Shakespeare trait of not repaying debts until sorely pressed; once, as he languished in Stratford jail for non-payment, his surety, William Rounde, took the chance to reclaim two oxen which Henry had bought but not yet paid for.
Henry's younger brother John, the poet's father, was a Shakespeare of quite another stamp.

 Printer version - Melbourne Clown Hall: A rush to judgment?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
You, dear electors and citizens, are the ones missing out on a representative on the Melbourne City Council because of the "non-election" of the deputy lord mayor to one of the seats on council that used to belong to a ward councillor that you, formerly, got to vote for directly.
By having a dodo deputy lord mayor elected on the same ticket as the lord mayor rather than the council, you build in two firm votes to go against the magnificent seven elected proportional and therefore diversely.
Where the Lord Mayor can't lord it over the council but the council can lord it over the Lord Mayor you have a recipe for disaster at the most fractious level of government where egos are usually in an indirect proportion to ability.

Together with Shakespeare's Henry 6 plays and The Taming of the Shrew this makes an impressive body of work and it is hardly surprising that the Chamberlain's men, with such a repertory and with a state-enforced monopoly on playing on the north side of the Thames, were hugely successful.
Condell remained in the Chamberlain's/King's men his entire career and is named in their royal patent of 1603.
Condell was not an original housekeeper of the Globe but acquired a joint interest with John Heminges by 1612; in 1608 Condell was one of the syndicate formed to run the Blackfriars.

 The Theatre In England - The Romantic Drama Of Shakespeare And His Successors (1590-1642)
The first, between 1586 and 1593, is a period of groping, an apprenticeship in which the poet levied contribution on the works of his predecessors, and revealed a marvellous talent of adaptation.
The period between 1836 and 1851 marked another brilliant phase of the Shakespearean Drama in the nineteenth century, for it was then that Macready undertook, not merely to illustrate the plays with his remarkable genius, but also to purge them from the alterations and interpolations introduced by various actors and actresses since the Restoration.
The actors, in order to avoid the supervision of the Lord Mayor and the City, constructed playhouses out-side the territory over which the jurisdiction of the latter extended, that is, in the quarters of Shore-ditch, of Blackfriars, and of Bankside, and these different stages were called the Theatre, the Curtain, and the Blackfriars Theatre.

 Chapter 6: The 2nd Cryptographic Shakespeare
Heminge and Condell are the spellings used in the First Folio, and are used herein for convenience.
The statement over the names of Heminge and Condell asserts that they collected the works "according to the true originall copies" and that they cured them of the defects which appeared in the "stolne and surreptitious" copies.Manifestly this is untrue, since the First Folio is full of obvious errors and defects.
Chambers' comment is "What one does not find is the absence of `blots' for which Heminges and Condell especially lauded Shakespeare." The gist of the purported statement of Heminge and Condell is that the author wrote with such facility that he made few corrections and scarcely blotted a word.

Genealogists claim to have discovered one man related to Shakespeare who was hanged in Gloucestershire for theft in 1248, and Shakespeare's father, in an application for a coat of arms, claimed that his grandfather was a hero in the War of the Roses and was granted land in Warwickshire in 1485 by Henry VII.
There is no record of Richard Shakespeare before 1529, but details about his life after this reveal that he was a tenant farmer, who, on occasion, would be fined for grazing too many cattle on the common grounds and for not attending manor court.
The reason cited for granting the coat-of-arms was John Shakespeare's grandfather's faithful service to Henry VII, but no specifics were given as to what service he actually performed.

 English 145B
The chief authority for the authorship of Shakespeare's plays is the "First Folio" edition, published in 1623, a collection of the plays by John Heming (or Hemings) and Henry Condell, two of Shakespeare's colleagues in his theatrical company, The King's Men.
He probably began with what later came to be called the "First Tetralogy" (consisting of four plays, Henry VI, Part One, Henry VI, Part Two, Henry VI, Part Three, and Richard III), tracing the background and struggles of rival families for the crown during the so-called "War of the Roses" in fifteenth-century England.
But in the Second Tetralogy, Shakespeare is also interested in tracing the "education to kingship" of England's supposedly ideal king, Henry V, while in the First Tetralogy, he concentrates on the disastrous consequences that the rebellion against established authority can lead to.
