William Shakespeare: his homes and haunts

Samuel Levy Bensusan, born in Dulwich in 1872, was an author, playwright and expert on English history, agriculture and folk traditions. In his essay William Shakespeare: His homes and haunts, published in 1912, Bensusan explored and investigated William Shakespeare's geography, the places where the great English playwright, poet and actor took his first steps and created his extraordinary immortal works in the course of his mysterious life. It is a fundamental work in trying to understand who William Shakespeare really was, what inspired him and pushed him to write his poems and his numerous tragedies.
