    • The Tragedians of the City? Q1 Hamlet and the Settlements of the 1590s
    • Paul Menzer cites Q1 Hamlet as an example of a play with possible associations to performance at London inns in "The Tragedians of the City? Q1 Hamlet and the Settlements of the 1590s, " Shakespeare Quarterly 57 (2006): 162-82. I am greatly indebted to Menzer's article, and to the earlier Shakespeare Association seminar on which it is based, for his suggestion that "London's early winter dusk made the suburban theaters inconvenient for patrons who had not only to traverse frozen lanes but also to do so through the gloaming. The City's inns, closer to the population centers, made it easier for patrons to return home before dark and provided players a suitable answer to suburban inconvenience" (p. 174).

The Ogilby and Morgan map was made after the great London fire of 1666, but property boundaries and foundation lines tended to remain the same after the fire, and the map proves accurate within feet of what has been found from early-seventeenth-century documents pertaining to the Red Bull and the Boar's Head, neither of which were damaged by the fire.
