Excerpt from Stratford as Connected With Shakespeare: And the Bard's Rural Haunts
After knowing this, the minute labours of the topo grapher become of little worth; nor shall we enter a field interesting only to the mere groper after manorial or antiquarian lore. We shall not repeat here the chronicles of a Dugdale or a Wheler; for it matters little who held the site of the town three centuries before the Norman Conquest or how a Saxon mo nastery came to be there, which was destroyed; and how the Bishops of Worcester became possessed of the place, and who followed them. These matters we leave for those whom they may concern; our business is to aid the pilgrim who may j ourney hither to the shrine of his idolatry, and trace Stratford principally in its connection with shakespeare.
The author of Rambles by Rivers has traced the ideas of a stranger in connection with Stratford so justly, that though the pride of a native may not be much flattered by the remark, we shall quote it and act upon it; since whatever interest Stratford possesses, is now entirely associated with and linked to the reputa tion of shakespeare; and happy are those who, like Washington Irving, while aiming to follow the footsteps of the immortal bard, can add lustre to their own names in describing the local haunts of him who pic tured all the phases of many-coloured life.
