The essays in this volume consider the various manifestations of the physical and metaphorical town on the Avon, across time, genre and place, from America to New Zealand, from children’s literature to wartime commemorations. We meet many Stratfords in this collection, real and imaginary, and the interplay between the two generates new visions of the place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePreface\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e Katherine Scheil\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/strong\u003e Helen Faucit and the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, 1879\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eChristy Desmet\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/strong\u003e Secret Stratford: Shakespeare’s Hometown in Recent Young Adult Fiction\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eSusanne Greenhalgh\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/strong\u003e Stratfordian Perambulations; or, Walking with Shakespeare\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eJulie Sanders\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4. \u003c\/strong\u003eShakespeare’s Church and the Pilgrim Fathers: Commemorating Plymouth Rock in Stratford\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eClara Calvo\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5. \u003c\/strong\u003eImporting Stratford\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eKatherine Scheil\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eAfterword:\u003c\/strong\u003e ‘Dear Shakespeare-land’: Investing in Stratford\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eNicola J.
