Why it matters

The stakes turn on whether readers accept that It was known he owned a house in Blackfriars, but never exactly where, with the assumption that Shakespeare was living out his final years in Stratford, which he still may have done, althoug.

Common ground

The clearest point to anchor on is this: It was known he owned a house in Blackfriars, but never exactly where, with the assumption that Shakespeare was living out his final years in Stratford, which he still may have done, although still writing plays in 1613, with the tenant he appears to have letted the property to.
