Notes John Faed. Shakespeare and His Contemporaries, 1851.. Emory University English Department. "This painting is also known as Shakespeare and His Friends at the Mermaid Tavern. Sir Walter Raleigh created the Friday Street Club, a gathering of men of letters who met at the Mermaid Tavern; the club was named for the address--Friday Street--of the tavern. The owner of the Mermaid William Johnson was a business associate of Shakespeare, but we do not know if Shakespeare actually attended the meetings. In the painting, which Richard Altick calls a "kind of Tudor hall of fame," Faed puts Shakespeare in the center of the group, which includes Sir Francis Bacon, John Donne, Ben Jonson, and Sir Walter Raleigh."
