What is the cause of death for Shakespeare's son Hamnet?
Shakespeare's son Hamnet, according to the Wikipedia entry on the playwright, "died of unknown causes at the age of 11 and was buried 11 August 1596." The source cited for that information is given as a 1987 book on Shakespeare published by Oxford University Press, which means it's an authoritative source. A website dedicated to Shakespeare claims Hamnet died after exposure to the Bubonic Plague of 1596, but no source is cited. See that link below.
What epidemic killed thousands in London during Shakespeare's time?
I'll bet you're thinking it was the bubonic plague, but you'd be wrong. The plague epidemic struck Europe in the early fourteenth century and one person in three died. The disease was still around in Shakespeare's day, but it had "hit Europe" two hundred and fifty years before. The deadly disease that his Europe in Shakespeare's time was syphilis, which was brought from the New World by Columbus's sailors and spread through Europe like wildfire in the sixteenth century. Shakespeare's plays are full of references to it.
Did Hamnet's death effect Shakespeare's career?
Hamnet was Shakespeare's son, and it affected Shakespeare financially, although I'm not exactly sure how. William Shakespeare was terrified of the plague because he lost a lot of his brothers and sisters to it during the first major outbreak of the Bubonic plague. This is what Shakespeare's only son, Hamnet, died from, so you can imagine his devastation. Also...affect with an 'a' is a verb, effect with an 'e' is a noun. (Cause and effect, This affects that)
