Old St. Paul's Cathedral, where Chamberlain gathered his news (via Wikimedia Commons).
John Chamberlain wrote letters for forty years. From a room near St. Paul's Cathedral, he kept his friends informed of everything — court appointments, foreign wars, marriages, funerals, literary quarrels. The letters he sent to Dudley Carleton between 1597 and 1625 are among the most vivid records we have of Elizabethan and Jacobean England.
This site is a digital scholarly edition of that correspondence, encoded in TEI-XML and supplemented with a linked personography of the people Chamberlain mentions. Each letter is annotated with notes adapted from Norman Egbert McClure's standard print edition (1939).
