Birthplace Trust |
Grade Level: |
| The images that complement the essays
and timelines at this site allow virtual visitors to peek at Shakespeare's
birthplace, ponder the question of what the playwright actually looked
like, and poke about his neighborhood. The site is more than an album
of pretty pictures, however. Look for an outline of Shakespeare's
life, brief summaries of each of his plays, and a short essay about
Shakespeare as a sixteenth-century student, when "[s]choolboys
had to endure a long, unvaried, taxing day, from Monday to Saturday,
beginning at 6 or 7 in the morning and continuing until 5 or 6 in
the evening." |
