Brothers and Sisters of The Code will need little reminding that Mr. Ackroyd is an eminent English poet, novelist, biographer and essayist……
In his MAGISTERIAL Shakespeare: The Biography……
……he writes:
He [Shakespeare] may have worked for the young nobleman [Henry Wriothesley, Third Earl of Southampton] at Southampton House along Chancery Lane, but there are many scholars who have found buried allusions to the family estate at Titchfield in Hampshire in the texts of the plays at this period……
Ackroyd here gives directions to an endnote which reads…..
See in particular Stewart Trotter – Love’s Labour’s Found…..
He continues…..
It would have been more sensible and appropriate to have have removed to the country at the time of the plague in London…..
The Shakespeare Code wishes to extend its thanks and good wishes to this distinguished Man of Letters…..
IN VINCULIS INVICTUS!!!
