November marks the 400th anniversary of the publication of Shakespeare's ‘First Folio’, seven years after the death of the bard. The ‘First Folio’ is arguably the greatest work of English literature, and without it, much of Shakespeare’s work would have been lost forever.
NORTH COPYRIGHT SHROPSHIRE STAR JAMIE RICKETTS 01/11/2023 - Tim Ashton of Soulton Hall in Wem has writte a piece about how Shakespeare is linked to Shropshire..
With acknowledgement and thanks for scholarly support from in his research to James D. Wenn and Christine Schmidle, Tim sets out here the connections he says could bring a huge cultural and economic boost to Shropshire."The connections between Shakespeare and Shropshire are extensive, though they are not as well known in the county as they should be, and this important anniversary provides a timely opportunity to highlight some of them," he said.
"If attention is focused on Sir Rowland Hill of Soulton Hall who published the Geneva Bible in 1560, the case becomes more compelling. The Bible Hill published is the main edition Shakespeare uses and is known to have quoted extensively from. "The country house expert James D. Wenn of Byrga Geniht Ltd. has established that the configuration of Sir Rowland Hill’s architectural project at Soulton is explicitly derived from the theatrical spaces of classical antiquity, which underlines that courtly and theatrical activity were already embedded in Shropshire’s culture a generation before Shakespeare was born.
"Meanwhile, at St Bartholomew's Church in Tong, the Stanley Monument is inscribed with epitaphs said to be specially written by Shakespeare."Tim pointed out that, generally, the town of Shrewsbury created an important national cultural engine for amplifying the attention and use of drama in statecraft and education.
