Speaking of numbers that are lot larger than we would expect, have you ever thought about the value of the shillings he mentions in his writing? It&#8217;s understandable if you haven&#8217;t. Most people don&#8217;t. <a href=\"http:\/\/laphamsquarterly.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lapham&#8217;s Quarterly<\/a>, though, is not most people. The historical magazine charted the prices in shillings of bibles, food, portraits, and the like and\u00a0compared them to their dollar values today. The results are shocking.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1553\" style=\"width: 532px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-postid=\"fsg_post_1552\" data-imgid=\"1553\" href=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/creativearts\/files\/2015\/04\/Picture11.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1553\" class=\"wp-image-1553 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/creativearts\/files\/2015\/04\/Picture11.png\" alt=\"Image Credit: Lapham's Quarterly\" width=\"522\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/creativearts\/files\/2015\/04\/Picture11.png 522w, https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/creativearts\/files\/2015\/04\/Picture11-300x294.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 522px) 100vw, 522px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1553\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Credit: Lapham&#8217;s Quarterly<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, you read that correctly: William Shakespeare would be 451 years old today.
