The Lodger, Shakespeare:His Life On Silver Street

Randy Kadish

This book offers a fascinating look into everyday life in Shakespeare’s London, specifically the few years Shakespeare lived as a lodger on Silver Street. The book is very well researched, and while Mr. Nicholl sometimes speculates on how events in Shakespeare’s life may have affected his work, Mr. Nicholl is always cautious about doing so. Because any information about Shakespeare’s life is so precious, I highly recommend this book, even though it is more about the people who surrounded Shakespeare than about Shakespeare himself. Finally, I always find it interesting how the sleazy side of life went hand in hand with perhaps the greatest literary renaissance of all time. It certainly adds to my belief that great literature is not reserved for the few, but for the many.
