With customary precision and elegance (how does he make it look so bloody easy?) Charles Nicholl writes about Mrs Shakspaire for the New York Review of Books.

This week on That Shakespeare Life, @MatthewSteggle shares how this tiny archival discovery might place Anne in London, right alongside her famous husband.

‘Good Mrs Shakespeare’ ✍️🎭
#Shakespeare scholar @MatthewSteggle has deciphered a letter fragment sent to #AnneHathaway that appears to tell us he might not have left his wife behind in Stratford 🤯 & that they lived for a while on Trinity Lane London..

@marclauritsen Well… IMHO not much will budge that. Eg if main claim's right, then it’s all more data points for his time in London, links to Shoreditch, links to printer Richard Field… but all could be seen as part of the clever conspiracy. Arguing it is like nailing jelly to a wall.
Delighted to have some Shakespeare work of mine feature in Guardian today. More info in Bluesky (place also works really well and is not owned by a twit).

@starcrossed2018@eoin_price I was going to say Cynthia’s Revels, but not kidding! (I was also going to specify the Q version). But Arden would be good too.
