Ignoring letter shows that Shakespeare was not a neglected husband

Any clue about William Shakespeare’s life usually stimulate scholars, but a piece of evidence was neglected for decades. Now, a new analysis of that unseen document sits a long -standing story about Bard’s bad wedding.
Shakespeare was 18 in 1582, when she married Anne Hathaway, daughter of a family friend in her 20s and pregnant in Stratford-on-Aven. For centuries, it was thought that he left behind his wife and children for a literary life in London, tried to avoid “insult to domestic quarrel”, as a 19th -century essayist placed it. This scene of Shakespeare’s wife was in the form of “distant encounters” favorable scholars who thought “Shakespeare was very interesting to be a married man,” said in Matthew Stegal, Bristol University Professor, England. The notion was influenced by the fact that Shakespeare left him “the second best bed” in his will. But the hope of being published in Shakespeare Journal this week shows Stagle’s research that the author was not separated from his marriage.
This signal lies in a piece of a letter of the 17th century, addressing a “Mrs. Shakasspire” found in the bondage of a book published in 1608. The letter was noted by an amateur historian in 1978, but even after the book was in 2016, a reply was revealed to Shakepier’s wife.
If this was actually addressed to Mrs. Shakespeare, “it’s self -conscious,” Stegal said – it provides new clues about their relationship, and suggests that Mrs. Shakespeare lived with her husband for a time in London. If she lived in London, she probably returned to Stratford, until she received a letter, around 1607 – although not necessarily her husband wanted freedom. “1603–4 is a clear reason for avoiding London, ie a very bad wave of the plague” says Stegal says. In addition, the upcoming arrival of her first grandson after daughter Suzana’s 1607 wedding to “will definitely be a good time” to return to Stratford for Hathaway.
Stegal says that his movements should be reconsidered on “potential absence” instead of “his potential absence” from London. A letter for a fatherless child named John is related to a letter. It called him to give him money, most likely was held in the trust for her, a pledge could have been held by her husband, and mentioned a time when he is a “trinity lane” that “Tinnity Lane” that is “trinity lane” which is a “trinity lane” in the trinity lane.
