The identity of Shakespeare, the most important poet and dramatist in the English language, has been debated for centuries. This historical work investigates the role of Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, establishing him as most likely the author of Shakespeare's literary oeuvre. Topics include the historical background of English literature from 1530 through 1575, major contemporary transitions in the theatre, and a linguistically rich examination of Oxford's life and the events leading to his literary prominence. The sonnets, Oxford's early poetry, juvenile \"pre-Shakespeare\" plays, and his acting career are of particular interest. An appendix examines the role of the historical William Shakespeare and how he became associated with Oxford's work.

This Oxfordian Shakespeare Series presents for the first time fully annotated editions informed by the view that the Shakespeare plays were written by Edward de Vere, the 17th earl of Oxford-a view that reveals their true meaning and significance not only for his contemporaries but also for today's readers and playgoers. Taking advantage of almost a century of Oxfordian scholarship as well as traditional scholarship, the editors show how Oxford, like all great writers, drew on his own life experience and his times. The editions reward the reader with a new and profound appreciation of the plays as the works of a controversial nobleman in Queen Elizabeth's court whose works appeared under the pen name William Shakespeare. Lovers of Shakespeare will want to see how this Oxfordian perspective informs and illuminates the plays. The plays in the Oxfordian Shakespeare Series and their editors include: Macbeth, Richard F. Whalen, co-general editor of the series Othello, Ren Draya, Blackburn College; and Richard F. Whalen Hamlet, Jack Shuttleworth, chair, English Department, USAF Academy (ret.)

The Shakespeare controversy continues to play out between the Oxfordians, who argue that the "Shakespeare" writer was Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, and the Stratfordians, who insist that Gulielmus Shakspere of Stratford-upon-Avon remains the writer of that canon.

Horace Vere (1565–2 May 1635) (also Horatio Vere or Horatio de Vere) was an English military leader during the Eighty Years' War and the Thirty Years' War, a son of Geoffrey Vere and brother of Francis Vere. He was sent to the Palatinate by James I in 1620. He was created Baron Vere of Tilbury, and died without male heir. Sir Horace was a professional soldier, even-tempered, brave and popular. The Earl of Essex was one of his lieutenants, and the Earls of Warwick, Peterborough, and Bedford served under him, as did the royalist soldiers Lords Grandison, Byron, and Goring. A large number of Englishmen who were afterwards distinguished soldiers served under Vere in the trenches at Den Bosch. Among them were: Thomas Fairfax and Philip Skippon, the future organisers of the New Model Army; Jacob Astley, Thomas Glemham, the future royalist generals; Sir John Borlase, and Henry Hexham, the historian of the Dutch wars. Fairfax, Skippon, and George Monck, particularly, were his pupils in the art of war. The fourth son of Geoffrey Vere by his wife Elizabeth Hardekyn[2], and younger brother of Sir Francis Vere, he was born in 1565. He left his home at Kirby in 1590 to join his two elder brothers, Robert and Sir Francis, in the Netherlands, commencing his service in the infantry company of the latter during his tenure of office as sergeant-major-general. He was wounded during the assault by English and Dutch soldiers on the fortress of Steenwijk on 5 July 1592, was recommended by his brother for a company at the siege of Groningen in June 1594, and was knighted for his gallantry at the siege of Cadiz in June 1596.[1] He commanded three hundred foot at the battle of Nieuwport under his brother, after whose retirement from the field he helped Sir John Ogle and Sir Charles Fairfax to rally the English vanguard ; and at the siege of Ostend he took a conspicuous part in the repulse of the Spanish assault on 7 January 1602, being stationed (along with Fairfax) at a vital point in the defences known as the 'Sandhill,' in command of twelve companies. He was badly hurt in the leg by a splinter. Early in April 1603 he was despatched by his brother with a message to the new king. After the surrender of Maastricht, Vere returned to England. While dining with Sir Harry Vane, The Hague envoy and his diplomatic friend, at Whitehall on 2 May 1635, he was seized with an apoplectic fit and died within two hours. He was buried with military pomp on 8 May in Westminster Abbey, where the same tomb serves for him and his brother, Francis. Vere married, in October 1607, Mary, daughter of Sir William Tracy, kt., of Toddington, Gloucestershire, and widow of William Hoby. With his death the barony of Vere of Tilbury became extinct. He left five daughters, who were his coheirs:[1] 1. Elizabeth, who married John Holles, 2nd Earl of Clare, grandfather of the first Duke of Newcastle; 2. Mary, who married, first, Sir Roger Townshend, bart., of Raynham in Norfolk, whence are descended the Marquises of Townshend, and secondly, Mildmay Fane, 2nd Earl of Westmorland; 3. Catherine, who married, first, Oliver St. John of Lydiard Tregoze (Bolingbroke was thus her great-grandson), and, secondly, John, Lord Paulet; 4. Anne, who married I Sir Thomas (afterwards Lord) Fairfax; and 5. Dorothy, who married John Wolstenholme, eldest son of Sir John Wolstenholme, bart., of Nostell, Yorkshire.[1] Lady Vere continued to live at Clapton until the death of the widow of Lord Vere's eldest brother, John, when she succeeded to Kirby Hall, where she died on Christmas Eve 1670, aged 90. For a short while in the spring of 1645, after the death of the Countess of Dorset, the king's children, Elizabeth and Henry, Duke of Gloucester, were entrusted to her care. She was much in Parliament's favour; but (despite the handsome allowance) she transferred it to the Earl and Countess of Northumberland.[1] Vere was a first cousin of Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford (1550-1604)[2]. According to adherents of the Oxfordian theory that Edward was the author of the works attributed to William Shakespeare, the character of Horatio in Hamlet may have been inspired by Horatio Vere, also because both are known for their ability to remain calm under all conditions.

Is Shakespeare Dead? is a short, semi-autobiographical work by American novelist and humorist Mark Twain. It explores the controversy over the authorship of the Shakespearean literary canon via satire, anecdote, and extensive quotation of contemporary authors on the subject. The work was written in the height of Baconian authorship and prior to Thomas Looney's discovery of disgraced, erased from history 17th Earl of Oxford, Edward de Vere. It remains one of the most biting examinations about the Stratford biography constructed from conjectures and assumptions far removed from historical facts.

Sir Philip Sidney was born on 30th November 1554 at Penshurst Place, Kent. He was educated at Shrewsbury School and Christ Church, Oxford. In 1572, at the age of 18, he was elected to Parliament as a Member for Shrewsbury. Despite his domestic commitments Sidney spent the next several years travelling through Germany, Italy, Poland, the Kingdom of Hungary and Austria. Returning to England in 1575, Sidney met Penelope Devereux who became the inspiration for his beautiful sonnet sequence 'Astrophel and Stella'. Life now became rather more complicated with his quarrel with Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford. The result was that Sidney challenged de Vere to a duel, which Elizabeth then forbade. Sidney wrote a long letter to the Queen explaining the foolishness of her proposed French marriage. Elizabeth bristled at his presumption, and Sidney, realising his error, retired from court. His artistic pursuits were more peaceful and more significant for his lasting fame. During the years of absence from court, Sidney wrote the first draft of 'The Arcadia' and 'The Defence of Poesy'. Sidney was promoted to General of Horse in 1583, his enthusiasm for the Protestant struggle was now given a free rein when he was appointed governor of Flushing in the Netherlands in 1585. Later that year, he joined Sir John Norris in the Battle of Zutphen, fighting for the Protestant cause against the Spanish. During the battle, he was shot in the thigh. Sir Philip Sidney died of gangrene 26 days later, on 17th October 1586 at Arnhem. He was a mere 31 years of age. | Author: Sir Philip Sidney | Publisher: Portable Poetry | Publication Date: Sep 10, 2019 | Number of Pages: 62 pages | Language: English | Binding: Paperback | ISBN-10: 178780190X | ISBN-13: 9781787801905
