Shakespeare - His Birthplace and Its Neighbourhood

About this book

First published in 1861, "Shakespeare: His Birthplace and its Neighbourhood" contains a detailed history of the English town Stratford-upon-Avon and its surrounding areas by John R. Wise. John Richard de Capel Wise (1883 - 1890) was an English writer, journalist, and editor. Other notable works by this author include: "The First of May: A Fairy Masque" (1881), "The New Forest: its History and its Scenery" (1862), and "Robin Hood, and other poems" (1855). Contents include: "Introductory", "Stratford-upon-Avon-The House where Shakespeare was Born", "Stratford-The Parish Church", "The Grammar School-Chapel of the Guild-New Place", "The Chamberlain's Books, etc., of Stratford-Private Manuscripts in Stratford", Charlecote park", "Welcome to Snitterfield", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
