William Shakespeare's marriage to Anne Hathaway, which took place in 1582, has long been surrounded by speculation regarding its nature. The couple had a child shortly after their marriage, suggesting urgency. While many interpretations suggest their union was pragmatic and less romantic, recent research from Bristol University's Professor Matthew Steggle indicates they might have maintained communication and even lived together in London during parts of his career. This insight challenges the long-held belief that they lived largely apart and adds complexity to the understanding of their relationship.
The marriage of Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway may not have been a passionate union but rather a strategic decision, especially given the circumstances of their wedding.
This new interpretation suggests that Shakespeare and Anne may have communicated regularly and potentially lived together at times, contrary to previous beliefs.
