Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. We welcome you to the second session, I believe, of the Shakespeare Symposium. My name is Richard Lowitt. I'm the chairman of the history department, and can you all hear me? Is this thing working?\r\n\r\n- No.\r\n\r\n- How does an American historian, one who specializes in 20th-century American history, come to introduce one of the leading Shakespeare scholars in the world at the present time? That's the question, and there's the rub. How does one do this, at least one in my position? And I've mulled over this and thought about it. And possibly one way I could do it would be to follow, since our speaker now lives in Washington, and I lived in Washington at one time doing research in the Library of Congress, how does an American historian come in contact with Shakespeare? Well, if one does research in the Library of Congress, especially in the manuscript division of the Library of Congress, which is located in the library annex, which is right next door to the Folger Library, every day when one walks by going to the library, one passes in front of the Folger a marvelous statue of Puck with the famous quotation from \"A Midsummer's Night Dream\": \"Lord, what fools these mortals be.\" And I, as an American historian, particularly relish the fact that Puck was always pointing continuously at the Congress, the dome of the Congress of the United States. And I suppose on the eve of the vote on the Panama Canal Treaty, that's an appropriate comment. As an historian, I also came into contact with Shakespeare in Washington, downtown along Pennsylvania Avenue. In front of the National Archives, there's a sign commenting with a quote from \"The Tempest\": \"What's past is prologue.\" And I'm reminded of the story of one scholar, not a professional scholar, who in the book he wrote began it with the quote, \"What's past is prologue,\" and then had a footnote, and you look down to the footnote, it said National Archives, Pennsylvania Avenue, 10th Street, Washington DC. But as an historian and as a biographer, I think I can relate better to some of the things our speaker has written, particularly in the preface to his remarkable book, \"Shakespeare's Lives,\" wherein he says, quote, \"I embarked on my work \"without any preconceived theme or thesis, \"for these I distrust as straitjackets, stifling insight \"and reducing complex intellectual phenomena \"to simplistic formula.\" And then he acutely adds, \"But I quickly recognized the truth of the observation \"that biography tends toward oblique self-portraiture.\" And as an historian, I also appreciate the fact that our speaker understands, this is again quoting, \"the utility of preserving the apparently trivial, \"because such items can be of tremendous value \"to scholars seeking to unravel and understand the past.\" Though our speaker is the authority on Shakespeare's lives, that is, the biographers of the Bard, he has never lost sight of their subject as well as his, namely, of course, William Shakespeare, whom he has viewed through a succession of different eyes and from constantly shifting vantage points. In short, our speaker has fully examined the sources of a biography of the Bard of Avon, and in doing so, has gained a mastery of another subject that intrigues me as an historian, namely the theory and practice of literary biography in different periods. And further, I am also delighted to note that our speaker is concerned about the impact of modern technology upon humanistic studies, important though the contributions based on the use of new techniques have been. He has written, quote, \"When literary pursuits have become so specialized \"and objective, indeed at times mathematical, \"when the electronic computers have been placed \"at the service of scholarship, \"I believe it is more than ever necessary from time to time \"to demonstrate the continuity \"of an older kind of literary study, \"one that did not disdain to offer its fruits \"to those outside the academic's privileged walls.\" Thus, what appeared to be an incongruous gesture on the part of the conference steering committee in asking a specialist in 20th-century American history to introduce a Shakespeare scholar might now, I hope, appear a bit more rational. There was a method in their madness. Ladies and gentlemen, it is both a pleasure and a privilege to present to you the Distinguished Professor of Renaissance Studies at the University of Maryland, and a trustee of the Folger Library, who in 1975 capped his numerous studies of the Bard with the splendid volume modestly entitled \"William Shakespeare: A Documentary Life.\" Of course, it is far more than that. Ladies and gentlemen, Samuel Schoenbaum.\r\n\r\n- Thank you very much for a lovely introduction. Ladies and gentlemen, I am going to do something a little risky at the beginning of this evening session, and I wanna assure you straightaway that I have a prepared text with which I will in a few moments regale you, but I'm going to indulge myself by telling you a longish, give me five minutes, and perhaps seemingly pointless anecdote, but I can scarcely restrain myself from doing so. Something very interesting happened to me this morning on the way to Ames, and I'll beg your indulgence for a few moments while I tell you about this, because it's been a remarkable experience for me and a very personal experience, and it's not in the paper 'cause it only happened this morning, but I was in Washington this morning, and caught my flight from National Airport to O'Hare, changed planes, and to Des Moines. You know the route, many of you, I'm sure. While I was in the airport, fearful of being bumped, because that wouldn't be very nice for you here this evening, and it was a very crowded flight and so on, I tried to get myself a copy of the New York Times to pass a couple of hours, a couple of fretful hours, and I met a gent in the airport who was holding a copy of the New York Times. I said, \"Where do you get a copy of the New York Times?\" He told me where, and I was off to get one, and then he came after me and said, \"Look, I can give you my copy,\" and he had a few copies of the New York Times in hand, which rather surprised me, \"but I want to remove first one page from this newspaper.\" And so he removed a page from the newspaper, and that was a page that had a story that began \"Ames, Iowa.\" And I said, \"Well, that's very interesting. \"I'm going to Ames this morning.\" He said, \"Well, I live in Ames,\" and so on, and it turned out that this newspaper article in the New York Times was a rave notice for a restaurant in Ames, Iowa. The restaurant is Aunt Maude's, and this man that I met by chance in National Airport in Washington is one of the owners of Aunt Maude's Restaurant in Ames, Iowa, as I looked at this marvelous article with photographs and a terrific plug for the restaurant: \"Let it not be said \"that the Midwest is a gastronomic wasteland,\" that sort of thing, a real New York provincialism displaying itself, and so we went off together. So we went off together and changed planes in Chicago, and we had a drink together at the airport club, and it was very nice, and we talked about restaurants and things on the way from Chicago to Des Moines, and I said, \"You face me \"with the most delicate social situation \"I think I've ever encountered in my life, \"because I'd very much like \"to have a meal at your restaurant, \"so celebrated as it is today in the New York Times, \"but how do I suggest to the hosts \"who will undoubtedly be taking me to dinner this evening \"that I would very much like \"to have a meal at this restaurant? \"I really can't do anything about it.\" He said, \"No, I'm afraid you can't. \"There'll be another time, another visit. \"I'm sure you will get to Aunt Maude's,\" and so on. Well, then I arrived, very graciously received, and off we went to dinner, and of course it was Aunt Maude's that had been picked for that evening, for the evening meal, and we had a delightful meal and a lot of wine and a lot of good conversation. It turned out that I knew at least half a dozen people that my hosts knew, and I come to you tonight, ladies and gentlemen, warmed with wine, smugly self-satisfied after having gorged myself on a lovely meal, and I must now read a paper to you that I fear may have all the characteristics of anticlimax, but I can say this. I can say this. I've lectured in many places between California and Tokyo, but never have I ever had a more delightful entree to a city, to a town, and to a campus than I've had this evening, and I did wanna say that, and I do appreciate you putting up so good-naturedly with such a circuitous anecdote. Now we'll become very serious, become very serious and well-bred, and I will read to you my paper on the man Shakespeare. You will perhaps allow me to begin my paper, it's about time, at this symposium at which we make much ado about Shakespeare by recalling another gathering on Shakespeare. That was the International Shakespeare Conference in Stratford-upon-Avon celebrating the quatercentenary of Shakespeare's birth. Late one afternoon, after the last paper, I visited Holy Trinity Church, where Shakespeare lies buried. There I paused before the monument executed by Geerhart Janssen, a Dutchman, in excellent Jacobean Renaissance style, with its skull and memento mori at the apex, cherubs on either side of the cornice, and between the two columns, the effigy of Shakespeare himself in the act of composition, with a quill in his right hand. The monument commands little admiration for its aesthetic qualities, but as the bust is one of only two authenticated likenesses of Shakespeare, it must hold a special interest for the biographer. Its history too, the history of that bust in Holy Trinity Church, is instructive. When originally installed sometime before 1623, it was colored, as funerary sculpture was in those days. Edmond Malone in the 18th century managed to have the lively flesh tones painted white. More than once, the monument has been repaired. An early visitor removed the poet's stone pen, which he holds in his right hand, and carelessly dropped it and broke it. Shakespeare has held a replaceable quill since. In 1973, vandals removed the bust from its niche and did some damage to the monument. I was invited to view the bust during its temporary indisposition. How forlornly this uninspiring icon rested, naked on the church pavement. But of course, for pilgrims, the associations it stirs make their visit memorable. In this splendid old church with its picturesque setting, William Shakespeare was christened on the 26th of April, 1564, and 52 years later, buried. In the same church, Shakespeare's brothers and sisters were baptized, and also his own offspring. There his daughters married. In the churchyard, his father and mother were laid to rest, although their graves no longer have identifying headstones. Above Shakespeare's own grave in the chancel appears the familiar stanza, familiar lines: \"Good friend, for Jesus' sake forbear \"to dig the dust enclosed here. \"Blessed be the man that spares these stones, \"and cursed be he that moves my bones.\" Some enthusiasts, unintimidated by this malediction, have invaded the sanctuary secretly by night with shovel and pail, seeking, like pirates after treasure, the poet's bones, or cryptic messages, or elusive manuscripts. Rumor holds that in the 18th century, Horace Walpole offered a 300-pound reward for Shakespeare's skull. If so, he was, like all others, disappointed. Shakespeare's remains must have long since decomposed. In the 19th century, the earth over his grave caved in as workmen were digging an adjoining vault, and the sexton is quoted as saying that when he peered in, he saw neither coffin nor bones, only a little moldering dust on the dank floor. Most of these facts and reports I did not yet know when I paid my visit to Holy Trinity Church in September 1964, but that occasion, which I have more briefly recalled in the preface to my \"Shakespeare's Lives,\" for me constituted what I can only describe as a quasi-mystical experience. One is overcome by strange emotions in the presence of the great and honored dead. One also feels, in this shrine at once holy and secular, a sense of the continuity established by so many pilgrim footsteps between the Shakespearian moment and our own. In any event, this experience led me to set aside the work I then contemplated on Shakespeare's contemporaries in order to devote my energies to biographical pursuit, a search for the man Shakespeare. This has now engaged me for 13 years. Though it has so far yielded three books, the end is nowhere yet in sight. This may seem an odd way for a grown man to pass his time. After all, what do we know about Shakespeare? We are told that all the facts can be put on a postcard and still leave room for the address. Or to put it another way, and I quote, \"All that is known \"with any degree of certainty concerning Shakespeare \"is that he was born at Stratford-upon-Avon, \"married and had children there, \"went to London, where he commenced actor \"and wrote poems and plays, returned to Stratford, \"made his will, died, and was buried.\" There you all have it in one sentence. This statement was made by an eminent Shakespearian, George Stevens, in the 18th century. He exaggerated then, and we have learned much since. But whatever the state of knowledge, the subject clearly engages interest. Last autumn I was invited to talk about Shakespeare the man in places as far flung as Sendai in Japan, where I was told by a Japanese that nobody comes, and Harrow School in Middlesex, where Dr. Watkins, our previous speaker, spent so many years. The subject has attracted attention in the theater as well as in the academy. The West End in London has recently seen a revival of Edward Bond's play \"Bingo,\" dealing with Shakespeare's life after his retirement from the stage. Bond's play centers on a crisis in the town of Stratford, where Shakespeare was born and where he passed his last years. During this latter phase, several powerful local landowners moved to reorganize the agricultural life of the neighborhood by converting small farms run by tenants into large expanses of pasturage used for sheep grazing and surrounded by ditches and hedges. This development is known in agricultural history as the Enclosure Movement. It affected people's pocketbooks by dispossessing the poorer farmers and adding to the wealth of the already rich landholders, and so naturally it aroused fierce emotions. Shakespeare, as one of the men of property and influence in the affected fields was drawn into the controversy. His cousin, the town clerk Thomas Greene, whose property was also involved, sought Shakespeare's advice. We know this from Greene's diary, which is preserved to this day in the Stratford records office. Bond's play \"Bingo\" dramatized Shakespeare's response to this challenge in the ordinary daily life of the town in which he lived. He depicts the dramatist who had sympathized with the poor, naked wretches in \"King Lear\" as siding with the ruthless landholder William Combe for the sake of increased profits, even though, as a result, the poor rolls would be swelled with the names of the dispossessed. In a crucial scene in \"Bingo,\" Shakespeare, after driving a strict bargain, signs the document that signifies his acquiescence in the scheme of the rich property owners. \"Pity you didn't go into business before,\" Combe the landholder says admiringly. \"You can bargain.\" Mostly however, in this play about his life, Shakespeare sits in his garden and broods. His wife, we hear, keeps to her bed and hides from him. She doesn't know who she is or what she's supposed to do or who she married. His daughter Judith upbraids him. Later in a Stratford tavern, Shakespeare has a reunion with his friend and arch-professional-rival Ben Jonson. They drink together, and Shakespeare slumps over the table, spilling his wine. The great poet and playwright of the English stage moves through \"Bingo\" like a sleepwalker, depressed and dissatisfied with his achievement, which, however great as art, did nothing to alleviate the poverty, cruelty, and injustice of his world. At the end of the play, Shakespeare ends his life by swallowing poisoned tablets. The last despairing words of the author of \"Hamlet,\" \"Othello,\" and \"Macbeth\" are, \"Was anything done?\" Repeated three times, these words, \"Was anything done?\" have a resonance that would not be present if spoken by any other dramatized historical character. When the performance was over and the well-to-do and well-educated middle-class audience was leaving the theater to stroll into the mild London night, I eavesdropped shamelessly on the comments of the spectators. Several said they had not been aware that Shakespeare's last years were so sad. Evidently these theatergoers had come to the playhouse to satisfy some craving to know more about our greatest playwright in the English language. If so, that was a pity, for Bond's play certainly would not have reliably informed them. In his own life, Shakespeare no doubt viewed disappointment, even heartbreak and despair, but there is no evidence whatsoever that, like his creation Hamlet, he ever contemplated suicide. The earliest report we have of Shakespeare's mood during his last years comes from his first biographer, Nicholas Rowe, who included an account of the life as part of his introduction to an edition of the works in the year 1709. Rowe says, quote, \"The latter part of his life was spent \"as all men of good sense will wish theirs may be: \"in ease, retirement, and the conversation of his friends.\" He had the good fortune to gather an estate equal to his occasion, and in that, to his wish, and is said to have spent some years before his death at his native Stratford. No hint of despair here, rather a twilight, the afterglow of a life well spent. Nor is the evidence clear that Shakespeare sided with the landowners, of whom he was one, during the dispute over the enclosure of the fields near Stratford. But Bond is not a biographer, but an artist. In \"Bingo,\" which he subtitles, \"Scenes of Money and Death,\" he wants to give expression to some passionately held convictions about the role of a writer in society. \"I admit,\" he says in the introduction to the printed text of his play, \"that I am not really interested \"in Shakespeare's true biography \"in the way a historian might be.\" Nevertheless, whatever Bond's conception of his task, people go to see \"Bingo\" in England and in this country to be biographically enlightened. They have a natural curiosity about the lives of great men. This desire to know has in the past been gratified by other plays dealing with Shakespeare's life, as well as with prose fictions in the form of novels, of which Anthony Burgess' \"Nothing Like the Sun\" has found a wide audience. An even larger audience, this one of millions, shortly will watch John Mortimer's dramatization of the life of Shakespeare in a series of television plays produced by the British Commercial Network. I expect that viewers will be enthralled, but not very reliably informed, and they won't know whether they are being reliably informed or not, for it is a curious paradox that with all this biographical activity, there should also be widespread ignorance in the English-speaking world about the life of its preeminent poet, as well as some naive misapprehensions, such as doubt in some uninformed quarters about whether indeed he wrote the plays and poems published under his name. Tonight, with more time to disport myself with than a postcard-length message allows, I can nevertheless touch with you only on some of the essentials. Let us begin with beginnings, and say a word first about Shakespeare's origins. The house where he was born still stands in Henley Street, in the town of Stratford-upon-Avon, in the county of Warwickshire, a part of England known as the Midlands. Today more travelers visit Shakespeare's birthplace than ever before in the past. Wherever Shakespeare's birth is celebrated, the date chosen is April 23rd, which happens also to be St. George's Day, and St. George is the patron saint of England. It is a happy coincidence that the two anniversaries should fall on the same day, but that it does is not a matter of fact, but of long-standing tradition. Actually, we don't know precisely when Shakespeare was born. Birth certificates as we know them did not exist in 16th-century England. There's the record of the baptism that is preserved. Shakespeare was christened, as the Stratford parish register records, on April 26th, 1564. He may or may not have been born on the 23rd, but that is as good a day as any on which to mark the anniversary. More important is the fact that he was born in Stratford. In Shakespeare's day, the population of Stratford stood at less than 2,000 souls, but in some ways, this provincial market town on the gently meandering River Avon must have looked very much as it does today. The handsome collegiate Church of the Holy Trinity, then as now, graced the river's bank. The guildhall, today badly in need of repair, stood then just a stone's throw from the great house which Shakespeare bought after he had established himself as a leading figure in the London theatrical world. Clopton Bridge, then as now, spanned the Avon with its 14 massive stone arches, and pointed the wayfarer the way to London. Shakespeare himself crossed this bridge on his way to and from the capital. In his day, Stratford was leafy with elm trees, blight having not yet destroyed them. If anything, Stratford was more attractive then before the advent of Hilton hotels and souvenir shops. It was, however, less placid in the 16th century than it is today. New information about the town still comes to light, and I thought that I should devote a little part of my time tonight to telling you about something really fairly newly discovered rather than just rehearsing the more familiar elements in the historian's quest. So I have something to share with you, an episode very likely recovered, which has a bearing, however tangential, on Shakespeare. The document to which I refer is a deposition in the public record office. I came upon it in transcription amongst a mass of uncataloged papers left by E. Tangye Lean. He was the brother of the film director whom you all know about, David Lean, who did \"Lawrence of Arabia\" and a number of other very celebrated films. Well, Lean was in the early stages of a book on Shakespeare's Warwickshire context when he died suddenly in October 1974. His widow graciously invited me to London to examine her husband's literary remains. There I found a deposition by one Rowland Wheeler describing a violent crime purportedly committed by William Bott, a turbulent Stratford figure. This Bott knew personally two generations of Shakespeares. Twice Bott and Richard Shakespeare, the dramatist's grandfather, together appraised the estates of lately deceased neighbors in the village of Snitterfield. With John Shakespeare, the playwright's father, Bott served on the Stratford town council, when in May 1565, he was expelled by the corporation for slanderous remarks about that estimable body. John Shakespeare, the poet's father, filled the post vacated by the expulsion. Bott was a man clearly void of all honesty, fidelity, or fear of God, and openly detected of divers great and notorious crimes as namely felony, adultery, whoredom, falsehood, forging, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. I like to refer to his impact on the community as, if you will forgive an unforgivable pun, Bott-ulism. By an elaborate stratagem, the Botts assured themselves of the lands of this Harper, the son-in-law, in the event that his wife, Bott's daughter Isabelle, should die childless. The fact that Harper was a minor at the time facilitated Bott's machinations. The stage was now set for the murder, which is described by an eyewitness in the deposition that I found amongst the Lean papers. There was this deposition in court by this man who claimed he was present when this murder took place. The language of this document is typical. This is a dry, legalistic language, but the content is, I think it's fair to say, truly horrendous now. \"The said Bott,\" there's always the said this and the said that, \"The said Bott having in this wise for,\" and this is the quotation, \"having in this wise forged the said deed, \"and so conveyed the said lands, \"the said Bott's daughter, wife of the said John Harper, \"did die suddenly, and was poisoned with ratsbane, \"and therewith swelled to death, \"and this deponent knoweth the same to be true, \"for that he did see the wife of the said Bott \"in the presence of the same Bott, \"deliver to the said Harper's wife \"in a spoon mixed with drink the said poison \"of ratsbane to drink, which poison she did drink \"in this deponent's presence, \"the same William Bott, by and at that time, \"leaning to the bed's feet, \"and this deponent sayeth that after the wife \"of the said William Bott had so given the said drink \"to the said Harper's wife, \"the said Harper and this deponent did see her lay a thing \"under a green carpet.\" This thing was the deadly ratsbane. The Stratford register records the burial of Isabella, wife of John Harper, on the 7th of May, 1563. So according to Rowland Wheeler, William Bott murdered his own daughter. Now, you will be wondering what connection this sensational event has with William Shakespeare, who, after all, had not even been born in 1563. I suppose it might be said it gives us another angle on Stratford, this town of the Hilton Hotel and the picture postcard shops. There's a lot of very turbulent life that was going on there in this period, but the true connection is to be found in the house where the poison was allegedly hidden under the green carpet, for in 1563, William Clopton, a young gentleman newly come into his patrimony and pressed for money, gave up the title of New Place to William Bott. The latter had resided at New Place, that's the name of the house, for several years before acquiring it. The murder, if Wheeler's is a true account, almost certainly took place there. It is a murder of kin by poison for the estate, and so has some of the mythic resonance of \"Hamlet.\" The handsome five-gabled house called New Place, the second finest in Stratford, was purchased some 30 years afterwards for 60 pounds by a playwright of rising prosperity. Shakespeare bought New Place in 1597. It had by then long since passed from Bott to the Underhill family. In July, the seller of the house, William Underhill, a subtle, covetous, and crafty man, as a contemporary summed him up, died mysteriously at Fillongley, not far from Stratford, after orally bequeathing all his lands to his firstborn son Fulke, Fulke Underhill. In 1599, this Fulke Underhill, still a minor, was hanged at Warwick for poisoning his father. Thus, associated with the fortunes of New Place, Shakespeare's house, we twice have murder of kin, a father of his daughter and a son of his father, by poison, for the estate. So one wonders, during one of his periodic flights from the busy life of the capital and its Bankside theaters, as Shakespeare tended the flourishing vines and the great garden of New Place, and \"Hamlet\" was beginning subliminally to take form in his brain, did he ever pause to think of his house and his heritage? However this may be, his town evidently mattered a great deal to Shakespeare. He maintained his ties with it. Other dramatists of the Elizabethan age hailed, like him, from the provinces. Take the so-called University Wits. Robert Greene, today best remembered for his deathbed attack on Shakespeare as an upstart crow, came from Norwich, this Robert Greene. George Peele came from Oxford, Christopher Marlowe certainly, and John Lyly probably, from Canterbury. These contemporaries or near contemporaries of Shakespeare all, like him, gravitated to London, which then as now offered unique opportunities in the arts, but all, unlike Shakespeare, more or less severed their ties with the provincial towns of their origin. Lately, we have been much concerned with roots. Shakespeare nurtured his. An early memorialist, John Aubrey, in his \"Brief Lives,\" tells us that Shakespeare was wont to go to his native country, that means his native county, once each year. This is probably true enough. In Stratford, Shakespeare's children were born and reared. There they married, themselves had children, died, and were buried. In Stratford, Shakespeare invested in houses and land. There he drew up his will using the services of a local solicitor and remembered his friends and neighbors who were ordinary townsfolk. After he died and was buried in the chapel of Holy Trinity, the monument was erected there to honor him, perhaps as much because he was a leading citizen of the town as for his distinction as a dramatist and poet. The surrounding countryside, with its woods and flowers and fauna, makes itself felt in his writings. Unlike his contemporaries that I have mentioned, he did not succumb to the Bohemian allurements of the metropolis. They died younger, Robert Greene in pitiful squalor, and Christopher Marlowe in a violent brawl. Shakespeare instead became a gentleman with a coat of arms, and ended his life in prosperity. Unlike Marlowe and the rest, Shakespeare never attended a university. His name does not appear in the registers, preserved to this day, of Oxford and Cambridge, the two ancient universities. Such formal education as he received would have taken place at the King's New School of Stratford-upon-Avon, which he would have attended without cost to his parents. Many have marveled that a writer who demonstrates in his work such wide and varied learning with respect to literature, rhetoric, music, and law, as well as British and Roman history, not to mention his profound understanding of the human heart, should have succeeded so astonishingly without the advantages of a university education. Disquiet about this deprivation must lurk behind the anti-Stratfordian impulse, the urge to deny Shakespeare's writings and to attribute them instead to someone better educated and more highly born. However, patient modern investigation of the 16th-century grammar school curriculum has revealed how broad and thorough a grounding the young scholars received during their long hours in the classroom. Here in the King's New School, Shakespeare acquired the small Latin and less Greek with which Ben Jonson credits him, although the Latin, at least, was far from small by today's standards: Cicero and Quintilian for rhetoric, Sallust and Caesar for history, Ovid, Virgil and Horace for poetry. That's pretty good for grammar school. Ovid's \"Metamorphoses\" would remain his favorite classic. A university career in those days would not necessarily have better equipped the young man for a career in letters. We do well not to confuse the modern university, with its enlightened liberal arts curriculum, with the altogether narrower course of study inherited from the Middle Ages of an English university in the 16th century. The formidably learned Jonson never went to the university either. What Shakespeare did acquire in his youth was a taste for reading, an interest in ideas, and a quick and retentive memory. His own genius and the bookstalls of Paul's Churchyard, center of the London book trade, supplied the rest. Shakespeare also acquired, very early on, a wife. The circumstances surrounding his marriage, and I see time passing, and I shouldn't wish to outlive my welcome here, and I will focus on a few of the more important aspects of the career in the time remaining for me. So I'll say some words about his wife, I'll say some words about his will, and a few general comments on the impression that all these records make. Anyway, he acquired, very early, a wife. The circumstances surrounding his marriage furnish an ideal illustration of the problems presented by the study of Shakespeare's life. In those times, a marriage license was not normally required to certify a legally binding union. All that was needed was the proclamation of the banns in church on three successive Sundays or holy days. But with Shakespeare's marriage, there were special considerations. He was only 18, and therefore subject to the laws affecting minors. And his bride, some eight years older than he, was pregnant. I have heard learned specialists refer to Shakespeare's marriage license, but in fact, no such document now exists, although in this special case, a license would have been required. Instead we have a marriage license bond, dated 28 November, 1582, in which two farmers from the bride's neighborhood swore to indemnify the Bishop of Worcester or his ecclesiastical officers in the event that any legal action arose from the granting of the license. These sureties or bondsmen were friends of the bride's family. Her name is given as Anne Hathaway of Stratford, although she came from the village of Shottery, which was in Stratford Parish. This bond grants a special dispensation for the couple to marry with only one, instead of the usual three, readings of the banns. Now the day before this marriage license bond was furnished, the clerk of the ecclesiastical court recorded in the bishop's register the granting of a marriage license to William Shakespeare and Anne Whateley, not Hathaway, but Whateley, of Temple Grafton. We know from other sources that Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway. These curious circumstances have given rise to a good deal of confusion and misunderstanding. Biographers, in the first instance, have noted that only the bride's interests were represented by the two bondsmen. What of the young groom, a mere youth of 18? Was this then a shotgun marriage with the unwilling boy helpless before irate parents and their brawny yeoman supporters, sacrificed for passionate indiscretion one summer night in the fields near Stratford? So a number of learned and popular biographers have thought. And what of the mysterious Anne Whateley, who appears in this one record and nowhere else? Was she Shakespeare's true, chaste sweetheart, the maiden he yearned to marry, and was indeed about to marry when the Hathaways made their move? And I'm merely paraphrasing what a number of biographers have said, but William Shakespeare could not have married Anne Hathaway without his father's consent. So the law, protective of minors, provided, and it was customary for the guarantors of such marriage bonds to be friends of the bride's, not the groom's family, for unmarried heiresses, rather than their prospective husbands, stood most in need of legal safeguards against unscrupulous fortune hunters. As for Anne Whateley, about whom so much ink has been spilled, it is my unromantic conclusion that she probably never existed, but was merely created by an erring clerk's careless substitution of a name. He had been seeing Whateleys earlier that day, and they were much on his mind. By a process of unconscious association with which we are all familiar, he carelessly exchanged one name for another. The bride's pregnancy indeed presented a problem. Her condition called for matrimony as early as possible, yet the church prohibited the asking of the banns during certain seasons, and we know the dates. In that year, it was from December 2nd until January 13th. The Shakespeare marriage documents date from late November of that year. The couple had missed the last opportunity for proceeding with their marriage in the customary way, hence the necessity for a special dispensation. To sum up, there is no evidence that Shakespeare at this stage of his life had any sweetheart besides Anne Hathaway. Later in his sonnets, he would express in impassioned lyric verse his tortured love for a dark lady, but she had not yet made her appearance when Shakespeare was courting Anne, nor is there any evidence that he married his Anne unwillingly. In 1583, just six months after the wedding, she gave birth to a daughter, Susanna. Less than two years afterwards, she bore her husband twins, a boy and a girl. Hamnet and Judith Shakespeare were baptized on February 2nd, 1585. Thus Anne had given William a male heir, but was the marriage happy? The old proverb holds, marry in haste repent at leisure. Did he repent his o'erhasty marriage? So the biographers go through the works and look for references to marriage and attitudes towards marriage of couples of unequal age. \"The course of true love never did run smooth, \"but either it was different in blood, \"or else misgraffed in respect of years. \"O spite, too old to be engaged to young.\" Or, \"Let still the woman take an elder than herself. \"So wears she to him, \"so sways she level in her husband's heart. \"For, boy, however we do praise ourselves, \"our fancies are more giddy and unfirm, \"more longing, wavering, sooner lost and worn, \"than women's are. \"I think it well, my lord. \"Then let thy love be younger than thyself, \"or thy affection cannot hold the bent.\" And how does Shakespeare feel about premarital sex? \"If thou dost break her virgin knot \"before all sanctimonious ceremonies may \"with full and holy rite be ministered, \"no sweet aspersion shall the heavens let fall \"to make this contract grow, but barren hate, \"sour-eyed disdain, and discord shall bestrew the union \"of your bed with weeds so loathly \"that you shall hate it both.\" But the difficulty, of course, is that these passages and others that are similar occur in plays, not in autobiographical memoirs, and the writer does not speak with his own voice, but with the lips of the figments of his dramatic imagination. How can we safely say that the sentiments I have quoted represent Shakespeare's own views? The theater is, after all, a public forum. A playwright always creates with his audience in his mind's eye, and the opinions his characters express cater for that audience, and also for the necessities of dramatic context. The play requires that Prospero, whom I've quoted, behave as he does, however Shakespeare may have felt about his daughter's behavior or his own 20 years earlier. Shakespeare's sonnets are more intimate, and perhaps we may there feel on safer ground in discerning reflections of his personal predicament. With this key, Wordsworth said of the sonnets, \"Shakespeare unlocked his heart,\" as they deal in part with an intense and intensely unhappy liaison with a woman, apparently herself married, these sonnets suggests that the marital bed was, for Shakespeare, not always a contented one. But in this poems too, experience is shaped by the poet's transfiguring imagination. It is at our peril that we read the sonnets as a straightforward personal document. I have mentioned the bed, and here Shakespeare's last will and testament, drawn up shortly before his death, provides a clue. The will contains only one reference to the woman Shakespeare had married some 30-odd years previously. \"Item,\" the will reads. \"I give unto my wife my second best bed with the furniture,\" that is, by the furniture, the hangings, the bed linen, and the light that make up this elaborate item of Jacobean domestic furnishing. That is it. Not a word more. That's all he says about his wife. What are we to make of this bequest? Some biographers see it as derisive, a husband's scornful dismissal of his rejected wife. As far back as the 18th century, the great Malone thus interpreted this provision of Shakespeare's will. Quote, \"His wife had not wholly escaped his memory. \"He had forgot her? \"He had recollected her, \"but so recollected her as more strongly to mark \"how little he esteemed her. \"He had already, as is vulgarly expressed, cut her off, \"not indeed with a shilling, but with an old bed.\" Well, that's one way to look at it, and this view has supporters up until the present day. But another interpretation is possible. May not the best bed have been kept in a special room, and there reserved out of gracious hospitality for overnight visitors to the splendid house Shakespeare had bought in Stratford? If so, the best bed would have been regarded as an heirloom, and would have naturally formed part of the estate he wished to keep together for his legal heir. The second best bed, according to this interpretation, would then have been the matrimonial bed, with a special, intimate significance. Other wills of this period refer to such beds with tender associations. In fact, we do not know what Shakespeare was thinking when he made his wife this bequest, but we can be sure that he did not have to provide otherwise for her in order for her to be looked after properly when he died. By English common law, enforced by local custom, a widow was entitled to a life interest of 1/3 of her husband's estate. Now I'm gonna pass over a few of these pages because the time is passing here, and I'm going to say a few words about the will that Shakespeare drew up apart from this bequest, 'cause that will lead me to some generalizations that I think, that I hope you will find of interest. The will itself is anything but a poetical document. It tells us a good deal about the position Shakespeare had achieved for himself in the world, not as an artist, for that we turn to the allusion books which have the references to his plays and poems, but as a Jacobean gentleman whose art had brought him the material rewards and social prominence in his Warwickshire town that apparently mattered to him. The will also tells us about the friends, mostly townsmen, and family members he valued most, and teases us with that bequest of the second best bed. Omissions can sometimes be as intriguing as what is included. Shakespeare makes no reference to the earls of Southampton or Pembroke, or for that matter, to any other high-born aristocrat, nor does he mention any Hathaways from his wife's family, although they still farmed in the neighborhood. The will is a bourgeois document that records a success story. Shakespeare amassed a considerable estate, which he was at pains in his will to hold together for his heirs. The College of Arms granted his father a coat of arms, probably at the son's instigation. In later documents, William Shakespeare does not fail to use the honorific title of gentleman, and his tomb in Stratford Church is emblazoned with the family arms. There is little in the will that accords with the romantic idea of the poet, but of course Shakespeare lived before the Romantic age, and we have, I suppose, many of us, a certain romantic notion of the poet: He lives in a garret. He's broke and the world does not recognize his genius. He does a lot of coughing because he has tuberculosis, and then he dies of neglect and ill health and despised love at the age of 26. Those facts roughly fit the career of Keats, but Shakespeare was not Keats. The pain he must have experienced in his life, the will and the other documents fail to convey, so we can only guess what he felt when his only son Hamnet was buried in Stratford on August 11th, 1596. Shakespeare could not then have with certainty foreseen that his entire direct line would be extinct before the end of the 17th century. Nor, if he still bedded his wife, could he be sure that she would fail to give him another son, although as she was already past 40, he may have reckoned that as unlikely. Presumably Shakespeare was present for the burial of Hamnet, but even that we can only infer, not truly know. So clearly the documentary record has the gravest limitations, which would be idle to minimize. Yet to my mind, it has also great and salutary value for its very ordinariness, for conveying, by its very starkness and in such manifold ways, that ordinariness. Shakespeare must have been in so many ways like other people. His personality when he rubbed shoulders in the taverns with the wits and witlings of his day made no such impression, as did Ben Jonson's, which was so forcefully assertive. Dr. Stanley Wells has recently acutely observed that Shakespeare must have been a great listener rather than a great talker. He spoke in his art. But surely the ordinariness belongs to the fabric of the achievement, for his plays express more profoundly than any that Jonson or the others wrote fundamental human relationships between parents and children and husbands and wives and lovers. Nevermind that he found literary inspiration in Ovid or Plutarch or elsewhere, or that blue blood courses through the veins of his dramatis personae, or that he chooses for his settings Ephesus or Illyria or Rome. The men and women he portrays experience such passions as he himself must have known. Hamlet's melancholy, Lear's rage, and Macbeth's ambition do not owe their essential being to literary sources, although we know the sources that Shakespeare consulted. And if the documentary record fails in most particulars to express what was extraordinary in the life, it does in one respect do so, for it reveals strikingly Shakespeare's professional commitment to the stage, first to the Lord Chamberlain's Men when they played at the theater, then to the same company when it became became known as the King's Men, and performed at The Globe and Blackfriars. Shakespeare served his company as actor, playwright, and shareholder for a very long time. That professional loyalty reminds us, as we continually have to be reminded, of the special nature of Shakespeare's literary achievement. It also helps to explain why he presumably took no interest in giving his unpublished plays the permanence of print. He must have felt that when he had presented his plays to his company and they were performed by them on the stage of The Globe playhouse, he had thereby fulfilled his creative role as an artist. These facts do not, however, help us in fathoming the deep inner wellsprings of genius. Shakespeare could have had such a career as I have described and been merely competent, but he was extraordinary as well as ordinary. How does the biographer bring into conjunction that which is ordinary, the life record of births, marriages, professional activities and acquisition, with what is surpassingly unique? To such an assimilation a documentary life cannot aspire. Maybe a critical biography will one day furnish the kind of synthesis to which our own age is entitled. Meanwhile, we can perhaps best conclude our necessarily highly selective survey of some of the outstanding questions by paying tribute to the artist whose genius has brought us together for this agreeable symposium. Heminges and Condell, Shakespeare's fellow actors with the King's Men and the editors who brought together the first collected edition of his plays, described their task as a labor of devotion, undertaken, quote, \"without ambition either of self-profit or fame, \"only to keep the memory \"of so worthy a friend and fellow alive.\"","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://iastate.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1150/collection_resources/43653/file/116745#t=0.0,4097.952"}]}]}]}
