• Merrill Hatlen uploaded the file: Shakespeare's Play Settings – Missing Maps to Group logo of ShakespeareShakespeare on Humanities Commons 2 years ago

    Several readers have suggested that a map would have been helpful in following the action in The Bard & The Barman, so I’m belatedly posting maps of Shakespeare’s play settings. Not only do these detailed illustrations by Andras Bereznay make it easier to follow the Bard’s footsteps, but they suggest that he wasn’t just an armchair traveler. When you look at the numerous plays that were set abroad, it’s hard to believe that he could write so convincingly about the wider world without ever leaving England.
