How the Bard and London left their mark on each other. A talk at Guildhall Library, City of London, on 14 December 2023. ------------------------ Many of the modern day locations mentioned in this talk can be seen on my 'Shakespeare in the City' of London walking tour. For details of this and all my tours, please go to https://www.londonontheground.com/ ------------------------ The slides in this presentation include images of the so-called Agas Map, which are used with kind permission of Janelle Jenstad and the Map of Early Modern London. This project, based at the University of Victoria, has created a clear, high resolution, online, interactive version of the 'Agas map' (Civitas Londinum). It is well worth spending time looking at the project's website at https://mapoflondon.uvic.ca/agas.htm. ----------------------- The slides in this presentation also include images used with kind permission of The Rev Dr John N. Wall of the Virtual St Paul's Project at North Carolina State University. This excellent project, creating detailed virtual 3D images (and sounds) of St Paul's Cathedral in the 1620s, can be found at its website: https://vpcathedral.chass.ncsu.edu/ #Shakespeare #FirstFolio #FirstFolio400 #London #Guildhall #GuildhallLibrary #CItyofLondon
