DEATH,INQUEST,AND VERDICT IN SIXTEEN-CENTURY ENGLAND
Eight days before Christmas in 1579,the body of a young girl was found in the river Avon,a mile east of Shakespeare’s hometown.Her name was Katherine Hamlett ,and she had made her livling as a spinster,meaning that she spun wool (not that she was,as the word came to mean a half century later,an elderly unmarried woman).Eight weeks later her body was disnterred from its burial place for an inquest.Since inquests usually followed immmediately after the discovery of a corpse,there must have been a suspicion concerning the cause of her death.Had she been of sound mind?Or,since illicit pregnancies and the not infrequent subsequent rejections by over and family were strong motives for suicide,perhaps Katherine’s death was not accidental.But whatever the cause of the delay ,the inquest reached a verdict of death by accident,perhaps because someone with power,as in Ophelia’s case,influenced the decision.As his later use of Katherine’s family name indicates ,Shakespeare,fifteen at the time,seems to have been deeply impressed by this young girl’s tragedy.
