Excerpt from The Merchant of VeniceIt is interesting to note that, while John Shake speare was bailiff, two companies of actors, the Queen's and the Earl of Worcester's, visited Stratford.About 1577-78 John Shakespeare fell into financial difficulties, which seem to have gone from bad to worse, until he had lost his wife's property and his official dignities. He was sued in 1585-86 for debt, and it was found that he had no property that might be levied upon. It remained for the poet to restore the family to prosperity.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
