I would like to thank the helpful staff of the British Library, Bodleian Library, Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, the Courtauld Institute, Dulwich College, Dulwich Picture Gallery, National Portrait Gallery and Shakespeare Birthplace Trust Library for their assistance, and Walter Hodges for allowing me to use his drawing of the Rose Theatre. Also Jaqueline Mitchell for her help and encouragement.
