I love Germaine Greer's Shakespeare's Wife., an amazing study that also hightlights the failure of a lot of high profile men's scholarship to do even the most basic research on Anne Hathaway. Went to the parish church in Stratford to see Shakespeare's grave and was stunned to find his gravestone side-by-side with all of his family. I had always thought he was buried alone and outside. I have my PhD in Lit, and I don't recall seeing anything over the years that really discussed his family before Greer's study.

When you told Jamie that his collar looked like a collar to keep a dog from biting itself, I laughed out loud and woke up my dog. He was seriously upset with me. I told him it was your fault and that apparently appeased him, bc he laid back down. Thank you so much for your videos.

Loved watching how well you two enjoy each other. Laughing together, my husband and I have found, is an integral part of our bond after 46 years of marriage. Thank you for the little glimpse of your personal life. I have always been fascinated by history, particularly the Tudor/Elizabethan period and the 1940's.

I last went to Stratford on my honeymoon 40 years ago in October. Unfortunately my policeman husband had broken his ankle a week before while arresting someone. Naturally this limited our walking capacity. He refused a plaster cast in order to get his morning suit on! We now live in Somerset so much nearer; when the world returns to something like normal we will definitely go again. I want to meet Fred the gardener and see the physic garden in particular. I am so enjoying these videos, can’t believe it took a pandemic for me to find them

I've been watching all these past episodes. This is my absolute favorite now. I love tactile learning. A well researched recreation or actual buildings in a historical place with historical interpretation by costumed presenters is so informative. Places near to me such as Saint Augustine, Florida and Williamsburg, Virginia I've visited and found it so informative and also entertaining. See where and how people of the past lived gives me a better understanding of them and the time period. Thank you so much.❤

What you said about the gardens and the medicinal plants made me think of a programme I watched years ago (from the BBC) called 'A Year at Kew". The programme follows the garden and the people working there a whole year. It's got 3 seasons. In season 1 (I'm guessing the year they followed the garden in first season was 2006), the first two episodes explain a bit about something that's called 'Go Wild' besides other stuff going on in Kew. Go Wild had lots of activities for the visitors but also a field hospital with British medicinal plants. Part of that exhibition was something called memory cards. Those cards could be filled out by visitors of the exhibition to describe medicinal plants they remembered using or know their ancestors used for curing illnesses and so forth. The cards would eventually be dropped at one of the scientists working at Kew as an ethno botanist for the collective British Memory about native medicinal plants. The thing I liked about watching that was that part of the exhibition was also something that wasn't a plant. British medicinal leeches. Anyway. Not sure whether you could watch that somewhere again for your interest. I really wouldn't know since I live in The Netherlands. If you ever feel the need to make an episode about historical medicinal plants that would be very lovely. Thanks again for your wonderful, entertaining and interesting series!

My sister brought me a gift from Stratford some years ago. A white t-shirt with a quote from Hamlet printed in a "gothic" script "Oh that this too, too solid flesh would melt". It didn't (the flesh, I mean).

@ktdewalt 4 года назад

I was there in '92 or '93... My older daughter (who was dating a Brit at the time) my friend (with whom I've lost contact 😢 ) and I rented a car and drove to some marvelous places in England and Scotland. Unfortunately, we were fried by the time we got to Stratford-Upon-Avon ... having flown in from the U.S. rented the car and drove. We foolishly booked a play at the theater for that night (beyond stupid!) and one at a time, nodded off and consequently, I couldn't recall any of it...and it was booked for my benefit, being the Shakespeare fan in our group! Now we have plague here in CA (though I believe the numbers to be deliberately bloated) But Europe and the UK are not open to us now, so at 74, I may never get back to England and that makes me sad. **My daughter's boyfriend, briefly her husband, was from Melton-Mobray, and there was a lovely home-turned-restaurant in the village that...according to our hosts...had belonged to Anne of Cleves. Your videos inspire me to again take up reading and research from our 7 year connection to England. But only the LORD knows if I will ever set foot there again. 🇺🇸♥️🇬🇧

Last summer (2019) a company in the Hollywood Fringe Festival did "Tamberlayne" but did it with the wild and crazy twist of having it performed by Klingons in the STAR TREK universe! It actually worked! Would adore visiting Stratford-upon-Avon! I feel very strongly people routinely ignore both Shakespeare's wife and mother in trying to understand the man (in so much as what we know).

David MacDowell Blue As a lifelong lover of both Shakespeare and Startreck (I like to think of myself as a bit of a Renaissance woman lol!) I would give a great deal to have seen that performance, it sounds wonderfully bonkers. Maybe you could upload a video on RU-vid? Please?🥰🥰🥰

@@scarletpimpernelagain9124 I do not have a video of that show and I have no idea if they even made one.

This was so much fun! I'll probably never get there, too strapped and too far away in California, but I feel as though I've just had the next best thing. What could be better than a virtual visit with Dr. Kat as the guide?? I've really not been much of a Shakespeare devotee, but those gorgeous homes with their period furnishings and the gardens, the beautifully intriguing church, along with so much wonderful history all captured me. I could almost feel the amazing ambiance about the place through Dr. Kat's recordings and commentary. It looks like she and the Mr. enjoyed themselves, and that was fun to see as well! But, I now will have to see if I can find out whatever the reason was for the demolition of the glorious "New Home".

@kashesan 4 года назад

Dr Kat, there are herbalist books sold in modern day "Witch Shops" (I live in Salem Massachusetts) that record the old beliefs of various flora as well as stones that supposedly 'cured' disease. Today they are used in meditation mostly to ease the mind and spirit (although some people still actually employ them medicinally-for better, worse, or indifference) but the origins of the herbal "cures" are usually related to the humours, or go back further to pagan ritual. Fascinating!

@sandrapearson728 4 года назад

Glastonbury, the town not the music festival is full of shops in a similar vein

@ruthanneseven 2 года назад

I taught myself,as a teenager, about herbal teas and eventually found excellent books that taught me how to prepare remedies. It's been so much more useful than taking pills over the decades. I didn't go by the humours, though. There's an array of useful knowledge to be learned, and if you combine techniques, outcomes are fantastic. We have regular markets where herbs are sold in bulk, so no need to forage. Although if I was really orthodox about it, it would be fascinating to use my astrology charts and moon observances in harvesting herbs to measure the difference betwixt the two ways! -CA. 🇺🇸

Now that I've finished the video... More questions an intrigued viewer NEEDS to know! Is the bollack dagger real? Did he get his tenner? Was I planning a trip to Stratford? No. Am I now? Yes. Yes I am. Once our plague is a thing of memories, I too shall own a William Shakespeare action figure! QuackQuack! Edited to add: I cried when my wife took me to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Literally broke down in hysterics and had to be led down the stairs with my eyes closed as I gripped the handrail for dear life. Your face was *fine*.

@TTeamFan 4 года назад

Yep, the bollock dagger is a real thing - common across Europe during the Hundred Years' War it was a close-combat stabbing weapon often used to give the coup-de-grace to a downed enemy. There are some in the Royal Armouries Collection in Leeds - collections.royalarmouries.org/hundred-years-war/arms-and-armour/type/rac-narrative-1162.html

@theguest3389 3 года назад

I feel your pain. I was walking across a loong bridge and right in the middle some semi trucks and a bus were driving by and the bridge began swaying. I lost it, but you still did it!!! That's the way I look at it. I still did it!!! Only a few people get the whole story and usually mentioned for laughs. Better to look brave. Yes, I have a fear heights, but I did get to the top of the Effiel Tower the view was, well breathtaking. No need to mention it was cuz you were hyperventilating!!! Good for you!!!😉 😷😎😷

@scarletpimpernelagain9124 4 года назад

Janet Stoker If you like history have you discovered Time Team? There are episodes all over RU-vid, it’s really interesting. As well as Dr Kat who is of course wonderful and might read this..you might also enjoy Lucy Worsley and Michael Wood (he did a brilliant documentary on the life of a Tudor woman that’s posted on RU-vid) whilst ‘Horrible Histories’ is good fun aimed at children but watched by a lot of adults because it’s funny. As a someone who also has a chronic and exhausting illness I can sympathise with your situation but I have found RU-vid a brilliant way of discovering the world and experts like Dr Kat - who might be still reading this 🥰🥰🥰

@janehollander1934 4 года назад

@@scarletpimpernelagain9124 , so sorry to hear you are also trying to live with chronical illness. RU-vid is indeed great for the likes of us and all those who are not able or can't afford to have an adventurous & action packed life. Thank you for your kind reconmadations on which programs, historians & channels to look up and follow on RU-vid. They are all spot on and very interesting. They are all already amongst my favourites as well. Some of them I've seen several times and they are in my RU-vid subscription list. Also any BBC Historical Documentaires made by Simon Schama, Mary Beard, David Starkey, Dan Snow ['TimeLine'], Alistair Sooke [Art historian/critic] are on my list of watched & liked. Next to all the big Museums & Galleries (like 'The National Gallery' and 'The Wallace Collection') that upload interesting content. So we are really spoiled for choice. I'm glad that people have taken the time and made the effort of posting all the Time Team episodes on RU-vid, going back to when they first were aired on TV. When I found those I stared to binge watch those like I'm doing now with Dr. Kat's videos. All of them are able to enlarge our often "shrunk" worlds and keep our minds active and our knowledge growing. Have you ever heard of or even seen any RU-vid videos by 'Modern History TV'? Which is owned/made & presented by Jason Kingsley (OBE) who investigates anything Medieval and fights in medieval armour with his horses. I love it when people explore History by immerging themselves into it, like re-enactors do. It was a RU-vid recommendation after having watched Mike Loades [famous historical weapons & war expert]. There are just not enough hours in our days to stay on top of them all. But we try 😉✌🏻😁. Greetings👋🏻 from he Netherlands 🇳🇱.

I went to Statford on Avon once when I was a kid about 10 or 11 years old (this would have been the mid 1970's. Not recent). I didn't really know who Shakespeare was at the time, but Stratford was an exceptionally picaresque. We went to Shakespeare's birthplace and Anne Hathaway's house and Shakespeare's grave. I still remember all the thatched roof houses and how pretty the river was. It was like going back in time. I seem to remeber a desk that was supposed to be Shakespeare's writing desk, but maybe it was just a replica. It's one of many places I visited as a kid that I wish I could go back and see again with a better understanding of what I'm looking at (that includes Rome at the top of the list).

You always go into great detail. I never get tired of watching you. History was my favorite subject, which my mom and her father, ( my grandfather) instilled in me at an early age. I was so fortunate to have gone to school in England for a very short time, (5th form). Study Romeo and Juliet, and the school took us to a play, one of my favorite before I even came to England. The Importance of being Earnest. So you see I just love that you exist on RU-vid. A BIG THANK YOU.

@janehollander1934 4 года назад

@Brenda Brooks, I had the same thought🤔. It must have to do with the subjects Dr. Kat deals with. Because her viewing numbers seem to have increased exponentially with a certain subject/topic. If you look at the viewing numbers of Dr. Kat's post of the 5th of October 2018 (about John Dee's Scientific Magic) and the one from the next week - on the 12th of October 2018 dealing with Katherine Parr (maybe more of a "household name" familiar with RU-vid users?!) that brought her an enormous increase of views, likes and comments. ✌🏻

My desire for a Georgian study with a carved wooden bust of Shakespeare has been entirely subsumed by by overwhelming desire for a Shakespeare Action Figure. Agoraphobia (fear of heights) me too! A bollock dagger or ballock knife is a type of dagger with a distinctively shaped hilt, with two oval swellings at the guard resembling male testes. The guard is often in one piece with the wooden grip, and reinforced on top with a shaped metal washer. Wikipedia Bollocks is without a doubt my favourite swear word, a word you can get stuck into y’know? 😆 keep on keeping safe everyone.

I had to stand at the back of the theatre for the entire performance as all of the seats were sold out. But a standing ticket was a thing back then.... I guess the 1978 equivalent to being in the pit.... sadly just not close to the stage. It was a wonderful production and I think that I still have a programme somewhere. It was one of the real highlights of my trip to England. I have never been back, but I would really love to visit again someday. Thanks for the tour, it was really delightful. ;-)

Also I do believe Shakespeare did understand that anything left to Judith would have been misused by her husband as he had been brought up on charges of having gotten a woman pregnant outside of marriage along with not following laws for his marraige to Judith. Thomas Quiney did try to sell a lease which was stopped by his family as it would have left Judith and their two sons homeless. Showing that he was not to be trusted to have his family's best interests in mind when it came to finances.

It al looks amazing. If I ever get the opportunity to travel again (currently located in the US during COVID-19) this looks like an amazing travel destination. I would especially look forward the the physics gardens and gardener, the virtual costuming opportunities (love the opportunities to try on costumes), and potentially the leaches!! You probably already knew this, but America (Appalachia/Virginia area) has it own leaches. For some reason I thought leaches were only common during the Middle Ages and Early Modern Periods, but my son and daughter ‘found’ leaches in a creek near my husband’s childhood home. Yikes! PS - I loved the William ShakesBear.

Thanks for giving props to experimental archaeologists/living historians. So many scholars seem to pooh-pooh their work. But what you say is absolutely true: they come to understand things by their work that no amount of scholarly study could replicate.

This was wonderful! In high school I had one of the very best teachers I have ever had, Franklyn Bauer. He made history alive! So do you! In fact, your style of teaching this subject is just like Mr. Bauer’s! Thank you!

I was planning a trip to England, including Stratford upon Avon in 2021. Not happening now 😥. So this was was lovely to watch. Also, the school room/guild hall was so fascinating and kind of is an answer to the classest conspiracy theories that William Shakespeare was 'not well educated' and so could not of written all those plays. It sounds like the perfect environment to educate a future playwright.

@scarletpimpernelagain9124 4 года назад

TheBeetress I hate those arguments that one man could not have written the plays and even if he did, it could not have been Shakespeare. They are invariably made by those without any imagination whatsoever and very little grasp of basic historical principles. All of the available evidence point to one person, the other ‘evidence’ comprises of self serving conspiracy theories. It particularly irritates me when people insist Shakespeare must have been an Aristocrat. In reality artists have always moved within and up,and down the various economical divides, also the British Aristocracy are not known for their enormous intelligence (the current Prince Henry anyone? Cough,cough) claiming Shakespeare as their own would make them look far brighter than they actually are.

Fabulous really enjoyed that one. Especially because I’ve been going to Stratford for the last 50 odd years since I was a little girl. You have shown me things that although I know there were lots of Shakespeare stuff there I have never gone into any of these places. Shame on me because they really does look wonderful. I can also recommend Charlecote Park which is about 5 miles outside of Stratford rumour had it that William Shakespeare did a little bit of poaching on the grounds. Stratford is wonderful and I can recommend the tour bus . Thank you Dr Kat
