{"product_id":"9781526106513","title":"Finding Shakespeare's New Place: An archaeological biography","description":"This ground-breaking book provides an abundance of fresh insights into Shakespeare's life in relation to his lost family home, New Place. The findings of a major archaeological excavation encourage us to think again about what New Place meant to Shakespeare and, in so doing, challenge some of the long-held assumptions of Shakespearian biography. New Place was the largest house in the borough and the only one with a courtyard. Shakespeare was only ever an intermittent lodger in London. His impressive home gave Shakespeare significant social status and was crucial to his relationship with Stratford-upon-Avon.  Archaeology helps to inform biography in this innovative and refreshing study which presents an overview of the site from prehistoric times through to a richly nuanced reconstruction of New Place when Shakespeare and his family lived there, and beyond. This attractively illustrated book is for anyone with a passion for archaeology or Shakespeare.","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47167251972336,"sku":"9781526106513","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781526106513_p0.jpg?v=1763738804","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781526106513","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
