SHAKESPEARE'S BRITAIN (poster). This map of Great Britain, produced by National Geographic, lets you see the settings of many of Shakespeare's plays, based on John Speed's map, ''The Kingdome of Great Britaine and Ireland'', from his 1611 atlas, ''Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine.''

Steeped in the history of the era, the map takes its reader back to the time of Shakespeare with a blend of classic cartography and artistry. Shakespeare's Britain is infused with symbols and icons that show: settings of the plays; towns, abbeys, and churches; castles and battlefields; forests and heaths. Insets include a panoramic view of Shakespeare's London and an enlarged map of Stratford on Avon. Also included is a table that shows ''Shakespeare's Plays with British Settings,'' which lists the period of action in each play and the reign of the kings.
