在班克羅夫特花園中,有一個由數個雕像聚集而成的高爾紀念園。園正中央是莎士比亞的雕像,四方則各有4個莎士比亞名劇中名角,分別是馬克白夫人(Lady Macbeth)、哈姆雷特(Hamlet)、海爾王子(Prince Hal)與法斯塔夫(Falstaff),分別代表了莎翁筆下的悲劇、哲學、歷史與喜劇四大精神。此園由Ronald Sutherland公爵所設計,於1888年搬來史特拉福。 9. 霍爾園 6 D7 u, F/ C9 S0 q/ v6 ^5 i
屋內擺設精緻典雅,可見霍爾的品味非凡。(圖片提供/墨刻編輯部)
根據考證,霍爾園應該是莎士比亞的大女兒Susanna與夫婿John Hall在莎士比亞去世之前所居住的地方。由於霍爾是位畢業於劍橋大學的醫生,所以此間房裡的擺設也相當精緻。一具雕刻精美的兒童高腳椅就是莎士比亞誕生地基金會最經典的收藏,陳列在屋中的大廳。大廳二樓還展示當時醫生所用的械具,頗為有趣。- T. f* ~+ J$ z2 J

However, the guide there in the house is very helpful. Feel free to ask him or her any questions about Shakespeare or the house. You'll get more out of it than just going in and out very quickly --- I know I did! 作者: kinwah88 時間: 2012-12-1 07:12 PM
I also had a chance to visit Shakespeare's birthplace at Stratford-upon-Avon two years ago as part of my tour of England. You don't really have to be a Shakespeare fan to enjoy the visit. I could feel the history inside the house. But actually I enjoyed more walking around the garden with beautiful flowers at the back. Too bad, I didn't have enough time to go to visit Shakespeare's wife Anne Hathaway's Cottage. BTW, I bought a booklet there which entitled "Shakespeare - work, life and times -- Official Guide". It has some good information and interesting pictures about his birthplace and around Straford-upon-Avon.
