Oh, that's very cool! Do you have any recommendations for where I should read about Shakespeare's financial situation and his various motivations for writing his plays? In my mind, because my mind wants Shakespeare to be awesome in every possible way, I assumed that he created his plays with the idea that his work would reach as many people as possible. It never occurred to me that he'd be in it for the money or feel victimized when people valued his work highly enough that they would pass it along, share it, and perform it for others.
