★纪念莎翁去世400周年

★小物件，大时代。畅销书《大英博物馆世界简史》姊妹篇

威廉·莎士比亚生活的年代，是人类历史上的关键时期。新大陆的发现大大开阔了欧洲人的视野，之前被奉为圭臬的事实纷纷坍塌，人生也随之变得扑朔迷离，充满悬念。16世纪末至17世纪初的伦敦人会带着怎样的观念和预设去观看莎士比亚的戏剧？他们在想什么？生活在一个和自己父辈迥然不同的世界，又会是什么感觉？

Shakespeare's Restless World《莎士比亚的动荡世界》视角新颖别致，为莎士比亚身处的危机重重却又充满活力的时代勾勒了一幅生动图景，读者从中将获得欣喜而意外的阅读体验。

The Elizabethan age was a tumultuous time, when long-cherished certainties were crumbling and life was exhilaratingly uncertain. Shakespeare's Restless World uncovers the extraordinary stories behind twenty objects from the period to re-create an age at once distant and yet surprisingly familiar. From knife crime to belief in witches, religious battles to the horizons of the New World, Neil MacGregor brings the past to life in a fresh, unexpected portrait of a dangerous and dynamic era.

Review
'Fascinating ... filled with anecdotes and insights, eerie, funny, poignant and grotesque ... another brilliant vindication of MacGregor's understanding of physical objects to enter deep into our forefathers' mental and spiritual world'--Christopher Hart, Sunday Times

'How gripping are these tales from a lost world. And what a world Shakespeare's was - adventurous, melancholy, rich and plagued by beggary, courteous and quarrelsome, sceptical and credulous'--Daily Telegraph

'Elegant, informative ... provides stimulating insights'--Anne Somerset, Spectator

Shakespeare's Restless World《莎士比亚的动荡世界》结合莎士比亚的经历和时代，讲述了20件文物背后引人入胜的故事，再现了莎翁的世界以及当时观众的所思所想。这些文物既有萨尔科姆比宝藏中豪华炫目的金币，也有无名货郎素朴的破箱旧衣。主讲人为大英博物馆馆长麦克格雷格，每件物品分别涵盖一项莎士比亚时代的重要主题：全球化、宗教改革、海盗、伊斯兰教、法术及其他。麦克格雷格将莎剧原文融入讲述，通过小物件的历史探究了莎翁关于宗教、国家认同、英国和世界历史、人性等思想的成因。

On Christmas Eve 1968, Apollo 8 became the first manned spaceship to circle the moon, and the film footage that NASA sent back changed our perception of the world. For there, as the three astronauts rounded the dark side of the moon, was the earth itself, a great globe suspended in the vast darkness of space. It was the first time any human being had seen the whole planet at a single glance, and the world has thought about itself differently ever since.

Nearly four hundred years earlier, a very different journey had caused a comparable revolution if on a smaller, national scale. In 1580, Sir Francis Drake became the first Englishman, and only the second captain in history, to sail his ship round the globe. In consequence, to the English, the world looked suddenly different. Its limits were known: it could be mapped and plotted. It could be circled and crossed by a single English ship. In 1580, Shakespeare was sixteen. For him and his contemporaries, the boundaries of human possibility — for travel, adventure, knowledge and conflict — had been dramatically expanded.
In A Midsummer N,ht’s Dream, the mischievous Puck boasts to Oberon, king of the fairies, that he can circumnavigate the globe in just over half an hour — even faster than a modern satellite, which at 200 miles up takes about ninety minutes. As everybody in the audience knew, it had taken Francis Drake nearly three years. The silver medal struck to celebrate Drake’s achievement shows the world that he traversed. It is about seven centimetres in diameter and almost paper-thin. On one side are Europe, Africa and Asia, and on the other the Americas. As you turn it in the light, you can see tiny dots indicating the route that Drake followed. From Plymouth down to the tip of South America, up the coast of South America, where Lima and Panama are both marked, on to California, over the Pacific to the Spice Islands in Indonesia, then round the Cape of Good Hope, up the coast of West Africa and home. An inscription around the South Pole tells us, in abbreviated Latin, ‘D. F. Dra. Exitus anno 1577 id. Dccc.’ (‘The departure of Francis Drake, in the year 1577, on the ides [13th] of December’), and one on the other side records his ‘Reditus anno 1580. 4 Cal. Oc.’ (‘Return in the year 1580 on the 4th of the calends of October [28 September]’).
Created about the time that Shakespeare began his theatrical career in London, this silver souvenir map — glamorous, scientific, fashionable — lets us grasp, literally, how you could imagine the world in the 1580s and 1590s. For the Elizabethan play-goer watching A Midsummer Night’s Dream in the 1590s for the first time, encompassing the globe, putting a girdle around the earth, was news — patriotic news that every person in the audience would have known about. In their Athenian wood, Shakespeare’s very English fairies are, in their whimsical, poetical way, restating the nation’s pride in Drake’s accomplishment, just like this silver medal.
