‘The more Elizabethan literature one reads,’ he has written, ‘the more striking is Shakespeare’s paucity of religious reference.’ The British authority Stanley Wells, however, contends that Shakespeare’s plays ‘are riddled with biblical allusions’. - P60

Tensions between Protestants and Catholics came to a head in 1586 when Mary, Queen of Scots, was implicated in a plot to overthrow the Queen and Elizabeth agreed. She was executed in February 1587. Killing a fellow monarch, however threatening, was a grave act, and it provoked a response. In the spring of the following year, Spain dispatched a mighty navy to capture the English throne and replace Elizabeth. - P61

Once England fell, and with the English fleet in Spanish hands, the very real prospect arose of the whole of Protestant Europe being toppled. - P62

The defeat of the Spanish Armada changed the course of history. It induced a rush of patriotism in England that Shakespeare exploited in his history plays (nearly all written in the following decade), and it gave England the confidence and power to command the seas and build a global empire, beginning almost immediately with North America. Above all it secured Protestantism for England. - P63

Had the Armada prevailed it would have brought with it the Spanish Inquisition, with goodness knows what consequences for Elizabethan England – and the young man from Warwickshire who was just about to transform its theatre. - P63

It is often noted, for instance, that Shakespeare’s plays are full of ocean metaphors (‘take arms against a sea of troubles’, ‘an ocean of salt tears’, ‘wild sea of my conscience’), and that every one of his plays has at least one reference to the sea in it somewhere. But the idea that this argues for a maritime spell in his life shrivels slightly when you realize that sailor appears just four times in his work, and seamen only twice. - P56

In 1580, when William was sixteen, Campion passed through Warwickshire on his way to the more safely Catholic north. He stayed with a distant relative of Shakespeare’s, Sir William Catesby, whose son Robert would later be a ringleader of the Gunpowder Plot. - P57

[오늘의 한문장] Shakespeare

Beer was drunk copiously, even at breakfast and even by the pleasure-wary Puritans (the ship that took the Puritan leader John Winthrop to New England carried him, ten thousand gallons of beer and not much else). A gallon a day was the traditional ration for monks, and we may assume that most others drank no less. For foreigners English ale was an acquired taste even then. As one Continental visitor noted uneasily, it was ‘cloudy like horse’s urine’. The better-off drank wine, generally by the pint. - P54

Despite all that was tipped into it, the river was remarkably full of life. - P49

By long tradition, at the Southwark end of the bridge the heads of serious criminals, especially traitors, were displayed on poles, each serving as a kind of odd and grisly bird-feeder. (The rest of the bodies were hung above the entrance gates to the city, or distributed to other cities across the realm.) There were so many heads, indeed, that it was necessary to employ a Keeper of the Heads. Shakespeare, arriving in London, was possibly greeted by the heads of two of his own distant kinsmen, John Somerville and Edward Arden, who were executed in 1583 for a fumbling plot to kill the Queen. - P50

Starch’s possibilities for fashionable discomfort were already being translated into increasingly exotic ruffs, soon to be known as piccadills (or peckadills, pickadailles, picardillos or any of about twenty other variants), from which ultimately would come the name ‘Piccadilly’,* and these grew ‘every day worser and worser’, as one contemporary glumly noted. Moreover, dyes were not yet colour-fast, or even close to it, adding a further powerful incentive to stay dry. - P52
