Globe - Life In Shakespears London

Globe: Life in Shakespeare’s London (2015) by Catherine Arnold – Simon & Schuster
Sold with gusto by Crappy Old Books – where the binding may be bent, but the content’s still brilliant.

Step into the reeking, riotous, plague-pocked streets of Elizabethan London with Catherine Arnold’s Globe: Life in Shakespeare’s London. This vivid and entertaining history brings to life the bawdy theatres, bustling taverns, brutal punishments, and brilliant minds of the Bard’s day. From groundlings to royalty, bear pits to bookshops, Arnold paints a city teeming with drama both onstage and off.

Our copy? It’s seen more action than a Globe Theatre matinee. Slightly scuffed, maybe a bit foxed, possibly annotated by a time-travelling English teacher — but it still packs a punch.

Crappy Old Books – Because history reads better with a bit of wear and tear.

Near new condition except for the stupid sticker on the front cover. I tried peeling it off and it looks a bit better. Maybe you can complete the job?
