Agreement to propose item(s) for inclusion on the World Digital Library if inscribed 1 Nomination form International Memory of the World Register The ‘Shakespeare Documents’, a documentary trail of the life of William Shakespeare ID Code [2016-103] 1.0 Summary (max 200 words) William Shakespeare’s genius endures through his creative works, his characters, stories and language. Understanding the man behind the works has long captured public imagination. The ‘Shakespeare Documents’ are the key archival sources for understanding the life of the world’s most celebrated poet and playwright. These unique handwritten documents, dating from within Shakespeare’s lifetime, name him and provide an evidential basis for understanding the narrative of his life and how this inspired and influenced his creative works. They provide glimpses into Shakespeare’s personal life, his birth, death, family affairs, property and business dealings, as well as his context within a period of history that saw major changes in cultural, religious and socio-political society. The privilege and responsibility for caring for this material is shared by archive repositories across the UK and one in the US. The dispersed nature of this material reflects both Shakespeare’s activities within his lifetime and his ongoing literary and cultural legacy . The ‘Shakespeare Documents’ are also powerful beyond their evidential value. They provide a tangible connection to Shakespeare, allowing us to get closer to a man who died 400 years ago and continues to have an unparalleled influence on language and culture across the world. 2.0 Nominator 2.1 Name of nominator (person or organization) Partnership nomination: (i) Shakespeare Birthplace Trust (SBT) (ii) The National Archives (TNA) (iii) Folger Shakespeare Library (FSL) (iv) Worcestershire Archives and Archaeology Service (WAAS) (v) College of Arms (vi) The British Library (BL) (vii) London Metropolitan Archives (LMA) 2.2 Relationship to the nominated documentary heritage Archive and library repositories, which preserve and provide access to the nominated material. 2.3 Contact person(s) (to provide information on nomination) (i) Shakespeare Birthplace Trust (SBT) – Mrs Amy Hurst, Collections Archivist 2 (ii) The National Archives (TNA) – Dr Katy Mair, Head of Early Modern Records (iii) Folger Shakespeare Library (FSL) – Dr Heather Wolfe, Curator of Manuscripts (iv) Worcestershire Archives and Archaeology Service (WAAS) – Dr Lisa Snook, User Services Manager (v) College of Arms – Dr Lynsey Darby, Archivist (vi) The British Library (BL) – Dr Scot McKendrick, Head of Western Heritage Collections (vii) London Metropolitan Archives (LMA) – Ms Charlie Turpie, Head of Public Services (Principal Archivist) 2.4 Contact details (i) The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, Shakespeare Centre, Henley Street, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, CV37 6QW, Tel. +44 (0) 17 8920 4016, Fax. 01789 262 073, [email protected] (ii) The National Archives, Kew, Surrey, TW9 4DU, +44 (0) 20 8876 3444 (iii) Folger Shakespeare Library: 201 East Capitol Street, Washington, DC 20003, USA, 202- 675-0325, [email protected] (iv) Worcestershire Archives and Archaeology Service: The Hive, Sawmill Walk, The Butts, Worcester, WR1 3PD.

    “Powerful Arms and Fertile Soil” English Identity and the Law of Arms in Early Modern England Claire Renée Kennedy A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History and Philosophy of Science University of Sydney 2017 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My greatest thanks and appreciation to Ofer Gal, who supervised my PhD with constant interest, insightfulness and support. This thesis owes so much to his helpful conversation and encouraging supervision and guidance. I have benefitted immensely from the suggestions and criticisms of my examiners, John Sutton, Nick Wilding, and Anthony Grafton, to whom I owe a particular debt. Grafton’s suggestion during the very early stages of my candidature that the quarrel between William Camden and Ralph Brooke might provide a promising avenue for research provided much inspiration for the larger project. I am greatly indebted to the staff in the Unit for History and Philosophy of Science: in particular, Hans Pols for his unwavering support and encouragement; Daniela Helbig, for providing some much-needed motivation during the home-stretch; and Debbie Castle, for her encouraging and reassuring presence. I have benefitted immensely from conversations with friends, in and outside the Unit for HPS. This includes, (but is not limited to): Megan Baumhammer, Sahar Tavakoli, Ian Lawson, Nick Bozic, Gemma Lucy Smart, Georg Repnikov, Anson Fehross, Caitrin Donovan, Stefan Gawronski, Angus Cornwell, Brenda Rosales and Carrie Hardie. My particular thanks to Kathryn Ticehurst and Laura Sumrall, for their willingness to read drafts, to listen, and to help me clarify my thoughts and ideas. My thanks also to the Centre for Editing Lives and Letters, University College London, and the History of Science Program, Princeton University, where I benefitted from spending time as a visiting research student.

  • Intboduction

    Intboduction

    INTBODUCTION, 11 IN its main features this History may be described as a continua- tion of " The Custo.mes of London," by Richard Arnold, from which the earlier portion, i.e. as far as the 11th year of Henry VIII., is a mere plagiarism. After that date the Chronicle becomes original, and contains much valuable information. From internal evidence it would appear to be the work of a scholar, and to have been written contemporaneously, the events being jotted down from day to day as they occurred. The characteristic of City Chronicles is maintained throughout by the adoption of the civic year, marking the term of office of each Lord Mayor instead of the regnal year of the sovereign, thus causing an apparent confusion in the chro- nology. This form was probably adopted by our author as he found it already employed by Richard Arnold, whose reign of Henry VII. he made the commencement of his history, with but slight variations, for the reasons subsequently explained. It has therefore been thought advisable to retain this peculiar division of the year in the text, but in the margin the Anno Domini and regnal years have been added in their correct places, so that the reader will experience but little inconvenience from this devia- tion from the ordinary chronology. Whether the author of the Chronicle placed the regnal year in its present position in the text as synonymous with Lord Mayor's Day, or whether it was afterwards transferred thither from the margin by the copyist, is an open question. In the earlier editions of most City Chronicles the name of the new Lord Mayor and sheriffs for the succeeding year are inserted in a blank space in the text left for this purpose in the CAMD.

    Robert Wait (alias Wayte) 1695 - 1755 Farmer of Rangeworthy and Iron Acton in Gloucestershire, and of Norton Malreward in Somerset AND HIS FIRST WIFE Rachel (Daniels or Ford) ? - 1747 by Geoffrey Audcent © 2014, Mendip Road, Yatton, North Somerset William Wait (1669-1754) Farmer of Castle Combe Robert Wait (1695-1755) Farmer of Rangeworthy and Norton Malreward Abstract – Robert Wait was born and baptised at Castle Combe in Wiltshire in 1695 (os). He was a successful farmer at Rangeworthy and Iron Acton (where he was the tenant of Acton House Farm) in Gloucestershire, before moving to northern Somerset in 1744, where he took over a large farm at Norton Malreward. Robert had nine children by his first wife. She was an early Methodist and travelled to Kingswood every Sunday to hear the Methodist ministers who preached there. Following her death in 1747 Robert remarried and had one further child. In 1749 Robert made a will, describing himself as a farmer of the parish of Norton Maleward, in good health and in perfect mind and memory “thanks be given to God therefore”. Robert died in 1755 and was buried at Norton Malreward. His will was proved in London at the Prerogative Court of Canterbury in July 1755 with administration of all goods, chattels and credits granted to his eldest son.

    Notes on the Bacon-Shakespeare Question

    NOTES ON THE BACON-SHAKESPEARE QUESTION BY CHARLES ALLEN BOSTON AND NEW YORK HOUGHTON, MIFFLIN AND COMPANY ftiucrsi&c press, 1900 COPYRIGHT, 1900, BY CHARLES ALLEN ALL RIGHTS RESERVED GIFT PREFACE AN attempt is here made to throw some new light, at least for those who are Dot already Shakespearian scholars, upon the still vexed ques- tion of the authorship of the plays and poems which bear Shakespeare's name. In the first place, it has seemed to me that the Baconian ar- gument from the legal knowledge shown in the plays is of slight weight, but that heretofore it has not been adequately met. Accordingly I have en- deavored with some elaboration to make it plain that this legal knowledge was not extraordinary, or such as to imply that the author was educated as a lawyer, or even as a lawyer's clerk. In ad- dition to dealing with this rather technical phase of the general subject, I have sought from the plays themselves and from other sources to bring together materials which have a bearing upon the question of authorship, and some of which, though familiar enough of themselves, have not been sufficiently considered in this special aspect. The writer of the plays showed an intimate M758108 iv PREFACE familiarity with many things which it is believed would have been known to Shakespeare but not to Bacon and I have to collect the most '; soughtO important of these, to exhibit them in some de- tail, and to arrange them in order, so that their weight may be easily understood and appreci- ated.

It is a great privilege to gather and share stories on this beautiful territory, which has been the site of human activity — and therefore storytelling — for many thousands of years. We wish to honour the ancestral guardians of this land and its waterways: the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Wendat, and the Attiwonderonk. Today many Indigenous peoples continue to call this land home and act as its stewards, and this responsibility extends to all peoples, to share and care for this land for generations to come.
