Good Mrs Shakespeare: Scholar deciphers letter to Anne Hathaway • FRANCE 24 English

New evidence uncovered by the Literary expert and Shakespeare 'sleuth' Professor Matthew Steggle, has upended the long established narrative that William Shakespeare left his wife Anne Hathaway behind in Stratford for a career in London. It was long thought the couple had a disastrous marriage. Professor Steggle had decrypted a fragment of a letter to the 'Good Mrs Shakespeare' which suggests the couple had lived together on Trinity Lane in London. Is is time for a rethink of how ‘Mrs Shakespeare’ is written about? Professor Steggle has been speaking to France 24’s Gavin Lee.
