It's not about Shakespeare by Val Horton - Aspects of Ordinary Life in Stratford-Upon-Avon 1775-1915. When examining the history of a town, a writer will often search initially for a narrative structure that describes its development. When that is established, he or she will then fill out this simplified narrative with details based on research in local archives. This book is different. It works the other way round; it starts with the particular and from that implies the broader narrative. The result is a fascinating glimpse into Stratford's past, a complex history made up of the intertwining stories of individual inhabitants of the town, people who are uncomfortably and recognisably similar to ourselves today, both in what motivates them and in their triumphs and failures. There is greed, betrayal, disappointment, success, kindness, kindness, complacency, arrogance and despair, just as we experience such things today. 2019 signed paperback in very good condition.
