This ground-breaking study of the world of the young William Shakespeare in Stratford and Warwickshire discusses many recent archival discoveries to consider three linked families, the Shakespeares, the Dudleys, and the Ardens, and their battles over regional power and government corruption. Robert Dudley, earl of Leceister, and Ambrose Dudley, earl of Warwick, used politics, the law, history, and lineage to establish their authority in Warwickshire and Stratford, challenging political and social structures and collective memory in the region. The resistance of Edward Arden-a second cousin of Mary Arden, Shakespeare's mother-and his friends and family culminated in his execution on false treason charges in 1583. By then the Shakespeare family also had direct experience with the London government's power: in 1569, Exchequer informers, backed by influential politicians at Court, accused John Shakespeare, William's father, of illegal wood dealing and usury. Despite previous claims that John had resolved these charges by 1572, the book's new sources show the Exchequer's continuing demands forced his withdrawal from Stratford politics by 1577, and undermined his business career in the early 1580s, when young William first gained an understanding of his father's troubles. This complicated community directly impacted Shakespeare's own perspective on local and national politics and social structures, connecting his early experiences in Stratford and Warwickshire with many of the themes later found in his plays. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 00 $g 5. $t The Aftermath. $g 2. $t The Ardens -- $g 3. $t The Shakespeares -- $g 4. $t The Trial of John Somerville and Edward Arden -- $g 5. $t The Aftermath. 600 10 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616 $x Family. 600 10 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616 $x Friends and associates. 600 30 $a Shakespeare family. 600 30 $a Dudley family. 600 30 $a Arden family. 600 37 $a Dudley family. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00217523 600 37 $a Shakespeare family. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00217342 600 17 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00029048 648 7 $a 1485-1603 $2 fast 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 $a Friendship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00935174 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 0 $a Stratford-upon-Avon (England) $x History $y 16th century. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Politics and government $y 1485-1603. 651 7 $a England $z Stratford-upon-Avon. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206530 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Enis, Cathryn, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317015634.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A37EAB6AFFE911EBB6EAFDEE22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
