Synopsis "Shakespeare and the Countess: The Battle That Gave Birth to the Globe"
In November 1596, a woman signed a document that would nearly destroy the career of William Shakespeare . . .Who was this figure who played such an instrumental role in Shakespeare's life? Never far from controversy when she was alive, Lady Elizabeth Russell, the self-styled Dowager Countess of Bedford, has been edited out of public memory, yet the chain of events she set in motion would make Shakespeare the legendary figure we all know today.Lady Elizabeth Russell's extraordinary life made her one of the most formidable women of the Renaissance. And, in November 1596, she became the leader of a movement aimed at destroying William Shakespeare's theatrical troupe--a plot that resulted in the closure of the Blackfriars Theatre but the construction, instead, of The Globe.Providing new pieces to this puzzle, Chris Laoutaris's rousing history reveals for the first time this startling battle against Shakespeare and the Lord Chamberlain's Men.
