Sweete Wittie Soules
This is the second edition of Sweete Wittie Soules, the first book to concentrate purely on Shakespeare's connections to the city of Oxford, an in-depth compartmentalisation of rumours, legends and facts concerning the Bards links to the famous University City.
Discover the legend of Shakespeare's affair with an Oxford Innkeepers wife, how a meeting between King James and three crossed dressed students might have influenced Shakespeare's Macbeth. How a fight in Thame may have kick started Shakespeare's acting career and how the works of an obscure Oxford playwright may have inspired Shakespeare when the need to please Queen Elizabeth came with a dead line.
All of these stories and many more are included within the pages of Sweete Wittie Soules, Shakespeare's connections to Oxford, the town, gown and shire.
