Abstract:
The name of Dr John Hall is familiar to students of Shakespeare but less well known to medical biographers. He was born in 1575 and studied at Queen's College, Cambridge, but had no English medical degree. He was not a member of the Royal College of Physicians (founded in 1518). Around 1600, he established himself in Stratford. In June 1607 Hall married Susanna, Shakespeare's elder daughter. He died in 1635, an eminent Stratford physician and herbalist.
