In this module, you looked at the Shakespeare-related evidence connected specifically with Shakespeare's hometown, Stratford-upon-Avon. Some of this was missing evidence. William Camden failed to connect the author to the town and it payed to see Dr. John Hall wrote about treating his father-in-law no longer exist. You considered the slightly odd and belated tribute that Workshire writer Michael Drayton made on the subject of Shakespeare, and the fact that his word trafficked and the word claimed by the Stratford vicar supplied are connected more with buying and selling than with writing. You learned about Shakespeare's lodger, Thomas Greene, a published poet who lived in Shakespeare's house for several years whose diary entries about the man he refers to as cousin say nothing that suggests he knew him to be the by now famous author. You considered questions about the literacy levels of William Shakespeare, his parents and his daughters. And in particular, the conflict between his daughters' illiteracy or functional illiteracy, and the very educated women including working class women who populate Shakespeare's plays. You considered evidence from those plays that Shakespeare, the author, had a university level education, specifically one that connects him to Cambridge University. You looked at people or places in the plays that has been argued were in or around Stratford-upon-Avon but which turned out to have other potentially stronger reference points. You considered the argument that Shakespeare used Workshire dialect words in his plays, arguments which have now been shown to have arisen through circular reasoning and misunderstood poetic effects, or to have falsely identified as local dialect, words that were widely used by people from other parts of England. For many people, the funeral monument in Holy Trinity Church at Stratford-upon-Avon, a monument that shows a man with a pen poised above a piece of paper on a writing cushion, shows Shakespeare's death date and refers to all that he hath writ is clinching proof that Shakespeare of Stratford was the author of the Shakespeare Canon. I hope I've convinced you that the monument has not been substantially altered, but I hope you've got some serious curiosity about the enigmatic texts engraved on it. As you approach the final module, you'll see how these texts are firmly linked to the First Folio and how the First Folio was the key publication which created or consolidated our traditional view of Shakespeare.
