About this ebook
This 1897 literary history brings to life the world of the Elizabethan people: their habits, clothes, food, work, and play. Includes vivid descriptions of dining, hawking, and family life—and, of course, what people knew and thought about Shakespeare, his works, and the actors in his plays. This volume gives readers an entirely different perspective of Shakespeare.
