Was Shakespeare here?


READERS with long memories will recall that in an article pub­ lished in June, 1970, I speculated on the theory that William Shakespeare — the William Shakespeare — might possibly have been a member

of a company of play­ ers who, during the poet’s “Lost Years”, appeared at one of the great houses in our area, at least.


based on the knowledge that Sir Thomas Hesketh, of Rufford, maintained a company of actors among whom was a certain Wil­ liam Shakeshaft and Sir Thomas, in addition to his home at Rufford, spent a portion of the year at Martholme, near Gt Har­ wood, another of his sev­ eral properties.

ly. more attractive part of his domain. All these thoughts are


brought to mind by a book, “Shakespeare: The


Lost Years”, by E. A. G. Honigman, Professor of


English literature at the University of Newcastle- on-Tyne, which was pub­ lished earlier in the year and has appeared on my desk for review. Professor Honigman’s


playwright-to-be came to Lancashire, firstly as a tutor in the home of Ale­ x an d e r H o g h t o n . of Hoghton Towers, and later went to Rufford on the death of Sir Ale­ xander. Here, the young man’s


interest in "things theatri­ cal” was stimulated by his as socia tion with Sir Thomas’s players. Mingl­ ing with the Thespians, it


is suggested, and like so many young people in later generations, William became stage-struck, and took the first steps in the career that was to lead to the Globe Theatre and royal patronage. 'Honigman has written a


book results from many years of dedicated re­ search and is of very con­ siderable in te re s t to theatrical historians. It proves nothing, but the some hundreds of deeds and documents quoted do much to reinforce the theory that the William Shakeshaft, of Rufford, was indeed the William Shakespeare of Stratford-


on-Avon. In brief, the professor's


assumption is that, short­ ly after leaving the Strat­ ford Grammar School, the


detective story: he has delved deeply into docu­ ments not previously av­ ailable. He suggests other lines of research into the 400-year-old mystery and his conclusions provide a much more feasible solu­ tion to Shakespeare's lost years than any others 1 have previously encoun­ tered. “Shakespeare — the


Lost Years" is published by the Manchester Uni­ versity Press in paper­ back at £4.95.
