No part of this excerpt may be reproduced or reprinted without permission in writing from the publisher. I wanted to kind of ask readers to think again; to forget everything they think they know about her and maybe open themselves up to a new interpretation.One of the things I was really struck by was I read her father, Richard Hathaway’s will. It was edited by Gail Kern Paster. It really calls all of this up; how we take this void of Anne and throw ourselves and our anxieties into it.O’FARRELL: Yeah, that’s very interesting. The practical research involved in building up Agnes’s fascinatingly unfamiliar worldview included experiencing what it feels like to fly a kestrel, growing an Elizabethan herb garden from seed, and taking lessons in how to process plants into the tinctures and elixirs that a 16th-century mother would have administered to her sick children. O’FARRELL: And also you can’t imitate him. He gets up, rubbing his legs. Near the bottom, he pauses for a moment, looking back the way he has come.
There is, as you’ll know, an enormous wealth of reading material on Shakespeare.
I’d like you to read a passage for us from this part of the book that’s on page 219.O’FARRELL: “Inside Agnes’s head, her thoughts are widening out, then narrowing down, widening, narrowing, over and over again.
Her cures seem to work, but when her son is dying, she can’t help him and that just adds to her guilt and her grief, which you write about just so searingly.
Where is his grandfather, who tends not to leave the house by day, who is usually to be found in the workshop, harrying his apprentice or reckoning his takings in a ledger? “He bought his wife and his two daughters an enormous mansion the year after Hamnet died, but he also bought fields and cottages which he leased and rented. One of the big questions for me which I’ve always wondered about was how Hamnet’s mother might have felt to know that her husband had written a play with the name of their dead son as its title and also as the name of its hero, and also the ghost, of course, who’s also called Hamlet.BOGAEV: And we should explain Hamnet and Hamlet; is this right, they’re virtually interchangeable in Elizabethan times?O’FARRELL: Yeah, so as I was saying, you know, spelling in the 16th century was not stable, and so Hamlet and Hamnet are completely interchangeable in parish records.
It’s such a presumptuous ascertain to make, that…BOGAEV: And such hogwash. Ben Lauer is the web producer. You can find more about the Folger at our website, folger.edu. Why did he waste himself on her?She went the other way around.
Obviously, you know, it is something that’s always struck me.
But actually, when I looked it up in the OED I realized that that word in the 16th century meant, “To dice and quarter up a carcass,” so that had to go.BOGAEV: It’s a minefield.O’FARRELL: It is, but you know, for someone like me, I’m a bit of a kind of etymological nerd so I find it quite enjoyable. At the point of writing, its purpose was to open the novel out from the constrained setting of a single house in a small English market town. For a moment, it crosses his mind to call his father's name, to shout for him, but his father is miles and hours and days away, in London, where the boy has never been. Why am I reading this?”I think especially when you’re writing a book about the past you’ve got to be really careful not to show your workings too much. Her latest, titled Hamnet—short listed for the 2020 Women’s Prize for Fiction—was published in the US by Knopf in 2020. Hamnet's mind is quick: he has no trouble understanding the schoolmasters' lessons. Recent history has heightened its resonance for both writer and reader.
I’m Michael Witmore, the Folger’s director. The vending window is shut and bolted tight. He can see from here that the workshop, to his right, is empty, the stools at the benches vacant, the tools idle on the counters, a tray of abandoned gloves, like handprints, left out for all to see. It’s not impossible. Published August 4, 2020. Maybe it was a marriage of equality and parity…,” and you know. It is similar yet indefinably different from the adjoining two-roomed apartment, built by his grandfather in a narrow gap next to the larger house, where he lives with his mother and sisters. Wake up, child, his grandmother will shout, snapping her fingers at him. Judith Quiney (baptised 2 February 1585 – 9 February 1662), née Shakespeare, was the younger daughter of William Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway and the fraternal twin of their only son Hamnet Shakespeare.She married Thomas Quiney, a vintner of Stratford-upon-Avon.The circumstances of the marriage, including Quiney's misconduct, may have prompted the rewriting of Shakespeare's will.

BARBARA BOGAEV: When did you first hear the story of Shakespeare’s son Hamnet?MAGGIE O’FARRELL: Well, it was a very long time ago. He must have stuck out like a sore thumb in this small rural market/farming town. full list of Shakespeare Unlimited episodes, Shakespeare Documented: Hamnet and Judith's baptisms, Shakespeare Documented: Hamnet Shakespeare's death. But who knows? That’s the kind of thing I enjoy.BOGAEV: Well, I don’t want to give away the ending, but let me ask you this. That the dramatist had a son called Hamnet, who died in the high summer of a plague year, four years before Hamlet was first performed, is a matter of record. It was all seen through the lens of sort of theory, and I felt as though we were getting further and further away from the text.I remember reading a lot of biographies of Shakespeare then.
No, it is true, no one’s entirely sure which order the plays were written in.
He wanders along the front of the house and into the neighbouring doorway. But also, I think the fantastic thing about research and going into these very scholarly and detailed and exhaustively researched books—and it’s astonishing the works of scholarship that people have done—but also you come across things that you didn’t even know you needed to know. The novel is focused not so much on William Shakespeare—in fact, O’Farrell never actually mentions his name in the book—as it is on his family back in Stratford, and how they cope with Hamnet’s tragic death.
What must he do? You know, they’re maybe 400, 500 plus pages, and I was really amazed that Hamnet the boy, maybe got—if he was lucky—got two mentions. There is still, she points out, a strong folkloric memory of the Black Death, which is imprinted on the landscapes of many European cities – not least of Edinburgh, where her children learned to cycle on mounds raised above the mass graves known as plague pits.
The two dwellings are, after all, separated by only a thin wattled wall but the air in each place is of a different ilk, a different scent, a different temperature. The two couples appear to have been close: When William Shakespeare, the father of the twins, drew up his will in 1616, he would leave Hamnet Sadler 26 shillings, 8 pence “to buy him a ringe.”
But his is a mind also easily distracted. n the run-up to publication of her novel Hamnet at the end of March, Maggie O’Farrell bought herself a vintage dress.

He sighs, drawing in the warm, dusty air and moves through the room, out of the front door and on to the street. And where is everyone?
It was a very weird and rapid turnaround.”. So obviously when I wrote it, it was more a kind of structural thing that I wanted.

Just the creaking of beams expanding gently in the sun, the sigh of air passing under doors, between rooms, the swish of linen drapes, the crack of the fire, the indefinable noise of a house at rest, empty. The noise of barrows, horses, vendors, people calling to each other, a man hurling a sack from an upper window doesn't reach him.
