Concerning Shakespeare on the Internet (Cybertainment, May 7), Erika Milvy reports on a “chart of coinciding historic events” thus: “It reveals . . . that the plague ravaged London during the years Shakespeare wrote his great tragedies and the ‘Problem Plays.’ ”
Shakespeare’s life span was from 1564 to 1616. The Great Plague occurred decades later, in 1665.
