	Historic Royal Palaces (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Holinshed had a particularly low opinion of the Tower and in 1588 he wrote that the Tower is ' Rather an Armourie and a house of munition and thereunto a place for the safekeeping of offenders, than a palace roiall for a king and queen to siourne in.
		Shakespeare echoes this sentiment in Richard III when Queen Elizabeth, the mother of the Princes, refers to the Tower as a Arough cradle for such pretty ones, rude ragged nurse, old sullen play fellow.
		The Tower plays a significant role in Richard III, in contrast to later plays such as Henry VIII in which it is a threatening presence in the wings, from which characters never return.

		The objective of the seminar was "to explore how Shakespeare's text was being or could be presented in the classrooms of countries where English was not the primary spoken language; also, what wider implications this academic exercise held for society and the arts in those countries" (vii).
		Shakespeare in German productions demonstrate that the poet "endures" in reworkings since his narrative — not the language as such — functions as "transnational discourse".
		Harish Trivedi problematises the various aspects of Shakespeare in India — in the classroom, in performance, in reception — and concludes that the relationship between the Anglophone and the non-Anglophone is a complex one.

		There the bell tower, or campanile, stood detached from the church building itself; another example is the celebrated bell tower at Pisa (1174).
		The relatively simple Romanesque towers generally had square or round shafts with many blind arcades in horizontal tiers and were topped by a simple octagonal or conical spire.
		Towers of extreme lightness and intricacy were developed in the late Gothic period, as in the cathedrals at Rouen, Vienna, and Antwerp.

	The New Yorker: PRINTABLES
		Shakespeare must have been confronted by his parents with the demand that this be done for his son—a thing that Will would probably have thought futile and certainly have known to be dangerous.
		By 1610, Shakespeare had been writing two plays a year for almost twenty years, and though he was obviously enlivened by the theatre—he was always ready to take on a job, even one as slight as designing and painting a shield for a mock tournament—he must have sighed to get out.
		Shakespeare’s younger daughter, Judith, made a very bad marriage—he had to fiddle with his will on his deathbed to prevent her husband from getting his hands on her inheritance—and the long retirement was short.

	Shakespeare's Influence
		Shakespeare influenced every generation of writers since his death and still today has some level of impact on contemporary plays, movies, and poems.
		Keats was so influenced by Shakespeare that he kept a bust of the Bard beside him while he wrote, hoping that the power of Shakespeare would guide him.
		It is interesting to note that George Bernard Shaw (1865-1950), who ridiculed those who worshipped Shakespeare (inventing an insulting term to denote the study of Shakespeare - bardolatry), secretly admired Shakespeare a great deal and often told his close friends that he thought the Bard had an unsurpassed command of the language.

	Reviews: Coined by Shakespeare
		As every schoolboy knows, the towering presence in the formative period of English literature is William Shakespeare.
		One aspect of Shakespeare’s inventive abilities that makes him such a force in the development of English was his ability to create phrases that stick in the memory and which have become an integral and enduring part of the language.
		Shakespeare’s words are current in business (employer and manager; investment and retirement), as well as in law (circumstantial evidence and foregone conclusion) and politics (especially among those who negotiate or petition).

	Shakespeare: the collected works of the Bard
		Shakespeare's plays are often arranged in three categories: tragedy, comedy, and history.
		The arrangement of the plays into the three categories is a practice begun with the First Folio, which was printed in 1623, seven years after Shakespeare's death.
		Because there are many varying "original" editions of Shakespeare's plays there may be differences between a copy of a play that you are familiar with and the version presented here.

	Shakespeare Scholars Say the Bard was ... Catholic?
		It does look as if Shakespeare was heading, with other Catholic young men of the era, for the Catholic seminaries, such as the one at Douai in northern France, to train as a priest.
		The meeting was held at Hoghton Tower, in Lancashire, North England, a country manor house which may have figured largely in the poet's life.
		Organizer Professor Richard Wilson, Professor of Renaissance Studies at the University of Lancaster, England, said a 16-year-old Shakespeare came to Hoghton Tower, the nerve-center of a Catholic counter reformation in 1580, with the Jesuit priest and martyr St. Edmund Campion.

		There is no evidence that Shakespeare was a believing or a churchgoing Catholic; in his London years, he must have gone regularly to a Protestant church, or there would have been recorded legal consequences.
		At the heart of the play, and very much against the grain of his sources, Shakespeare inserted a spiritual issue that, given the religious tensions of the Shakespeare family, must have been tormenting him at the time of the boy’s death and burial: the problem of Purgatory.
		Greenblatt conjectures that Shakespeare was there and was haunted by the laughter, and that “The Merchant of Venice” is in part a response to his shiver.

		Shakespeare probably never did revise any of the versions of the play that now exist.
		The passage of time might account for some of these contradictions, but Shakespeare is notoriously disdainful of calendar time and seems much more interested in tempo of mood and sequence.
		In a film version of a Shakespeare play, choices must be made about setting, costumes, and atmospherics; the camera liberates and tyrannizes the director as he tries to "suit the action to the word, the word to the action with this special observance: that [he] o'erstep not the modesty of nature."

		If a Shakespeare virtual world did nothing more than make the Bard more widely understood, it would be worth every penny of its development cost.

		The Tower of London is the oldest palace, fortress, and prison in Europe.
		A number of famous Tudor prisoners were confined to the various thirteen towers on the inner wall, including Thomas More, Sir Walter Raleigh, and even the young Elizabeth I.

		Placed at intervals along the inner wall are thirteen smaller towers, and along the outer wall are six towers on the river face and two bastions at the northeast and northwest corners.
		By the end of the 16th century, the Tower no longer served as a royal residence; it was being used solely as a gaol for prisoners of state and as quarters for various government offices.
		Here in the Bell Tower, Sir Thomas More—one of the most respected men in England—was imprisoned in 1534 by King Henry VIII for refusing to acknowledge either Henry’s divorce from his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, or his claim to be the supreme head of the Church in England.

	Powell's Books - The Truth Will Out: Unmasking the Real Shakespeare by Brenda James
		For more than 150 years, academics have questioned how William Shakespeare of Stratford, a man who left school at age thirteen and apparently never traveled abroad, could have written such a broad and deep body of work, one that is said to draw on the largest vocabulary of any writer in the English language.
		Examining the true nature of Shakespeare of Stratford's involvement with the plays, the authors reveal the London actor to be a mere pawn, while Neville, the Oxford-educated ambassador to France and a member of Parliament for twenty-eight years, was actually the Bard.
		Prompted by her discoveries of previously unseen, primary documentary evidence, Shakespeare historian Brenda James devoted more than five years of scholarship to proving that Sir Henry Neville, a well-traveled, Oxford-educated English diplomat of Falstaffian proportions, was the true author of the works of William Shakespeare.

		A study of horticultural imagery in Shakespeare will lead one to both an appreciation of Shakespeare and an understanding of horticulture in the Elizabethan period as well as of today.
