Shakespeare and His Friends: Or The Golden Age of Merry England is a book written by Robert Folkestone Williams and published in 1847. The book is a historical account of the life and times of William Shakespeare and his contemporaries during the Elizabethan era.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Shakespeare's life, such as his childhood, his education, his marriage, and his career as a playwright. The author also explores the social and cultural context of Shakespeare's time, including the political and religious climate, the social hierarchy, and the entertainment industry.One of the main themes of the book is the idea of a golden age of English literature and culture, which the author argues was epitomized by Shakespeare and his circle of friends and colleagues. Williams paints a vivid picture of the vibrant and colorful world of Elizabethan England, with its bustling cities, lively theaters, and colorful characters.Overall, Shakespeare and His Friends is a fascinating and engaging read for anyone interested in the life and times of one of the world's greatest playwrights, as well as the cultural and historical context in which he lived and worked.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
