A Shoemaker, A Gentleman

Published in the "Globe Quarto" series, co-published with Shakespeare's Globe to mark the rediscovery of forgotten plays by Shakespeare's contemporaries, this work presents a comic history about the foundations of British nationhood, the establishment of the Church of England and the beginnings of dynastic rule. It is edited by Trudi Darby.

About the author

William Rowley (c.1585–1626) was an English Jacobean dramatist and actor, best known for works written in collaboration with other writers.

Summary

In this entertainingly far-fetched play, Rowley combines mythical tales of the origin of St Alban's with folklore about the craft of shoemaking to produce a comic history which draws together the foundations of British nationhood.
