Mountjoy was the name of the French emissary in Henry V.

I always think of the fact that Shakespeare was born the same year as King James I, who “commissioned” the writing of the King James version of the Bible. Seems to me they were the affluent of English society and the Western world.

Apart from his writing (if it is, indeed, his writing)....God, not again.

Thanks nick! I’ve just read “Shakespeare & Co” and am reading “Shakespeare the Thinker”, plus have checked a few of the BBC disks out of the library the past couple of months.

What do we really know about William Shakespeare? Apart from his writing (if it is, indeed, his writing), almost nothing. And what an unhappy thing that's been for scholars throughout the centuries.On the contrary - it has fueled more dissertations, books and lectures than if we knew his entire life story.
