Graham Holderness welcomed the Swan at Stratford as the home, at once new and old, of a ‘radical energy' opposed to the ‘ossified establishment' in the main house. Here Peter Womack, concentrating on John Caird's 1987 production of The New Inn, suggests a different and more suspicious interpretation of the building and its uses. By a sort of historical coincidence, the conservative nostalgia of Jonson's play reveals the close links between the Swan project and that distinctively 1980s construction of the national past - the heritage industry. Peter Womack, who lectures in English at the University of East Anglia, is the author of a book on Ben Jonson in the ‘Rereading Literature' series. This article is based on a paper given to a conference on the politics of early seventeenth-century drama, Oxford, June 1988.
