Mon. Oct. 21 Shakespeare intro

Today, we discussed your prior knowledge about Shakespeare and his times. I then introduced you to his background (childhood, schooling, marriage, family, children), his move to London (plays, conditions of the city) and the impact of religion on the society (Henry VIII and his daughters; James). The bell rang at the point that we were discussing the entertainment of the times in London city itself (church, pubs, executions).
