The essays in this collection look at Shakespeare's plays and poems from an Oxfordian perspective (i.e., that the true Shakespeare was Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford). The particular Oxfordian perspective held in common by all the contributors is that Shakespeare was always telling the story of his life and involvement in the Elizabethan Court and its politics, especially the red-hot politics of sucession (who would follow Elizabeth?) that engulfed the English nation in the final years of Elizabeth's reign. Yet, even as he expounded on these political issues of his day, his most profound writing was about his own story, the story of a man who had "laid great bases for eternity," but who also knew that, in the end, he himself would be erased from history.
A Poet Rage Understanding Shakespeare through authorship studies William Boyle Books
As Hank Whittemore remarks again and again,the key to the Elizabethan and Shakespearean mystery
is not mysticism and darkness, but *politics*.
I agree as well with Charles Beauclerk and William and Charles Boyle
when they say, in Chapter 2, that the kernel of the problem
is not Edward de Vere's royal identity, as well as his son
Southampton, but the Virgin Queen's icon, that idol of the
market Bacon warn us about. As they write insightfully,
"for some Oxfordians questioning the Virgin Queen's
virginity is 'an icon too far.'"
This book is for daredevils and freelances that need
the best theory in town to interpret the Sonnets.
Universities and their police are not going to erase,
this time, the identity and tragedy of the poet and his
son. Touchstone warned William so. Time is the daughter
of truth, indeed. Internet and the World Wide Web cannot
be stopped. No barriers. No dogs. Truth is out. Let the
greatest theory on the Sonnets roll.

A Poet Rage Understanding Shakespeare through authorship studies William Boyle Books Reviews
1. Get with it guys'!!! Read a few books about Shakespeare...the one's I've reviewed on ...if you just read one side, of course you'll be convinced.
2. Why You Shouldn't Believe that Ed De Veer wrote Shakespeare
1. We have no plays or other writing of his that show he was capable of the brilliant, beautiful verse writings of Shakespeare.
2. If we accept that he died in 1604, as most historians agree he did, it was eight years before the last play of Shakespeare, The Tempest, came out.. There is absolutely no proof that he wrote these plays before his death and passed them on to Shakespeare...There IS evidence that it would be extremely unlikely looking at how Shakespeare's versification changed within his final years....
3. There is still inconsistent scenario of how de Veer passed the plays to Shakespeare, how much he paid him, how Shakespeare fooled his company for some 20 years, why no manuscripts were found at de Veer's residence, why HIS family did not know of this scheme and reveal it after his death, and why de Veer, a very egotiscal, self-important Aristocrat, would let a middle class writer put his name on the plays and get credit for writing them. The pseudonym "Shake-Spear" theory is utterly ridiculous and does not stand up under strict scrutiny....De Veer could have published his plays anonymously and turned them into any acting troup.
4. The plays are not a biography of de Veer's life...There are many more inconsistencies than consistencies in the plays..if one interprets plays using subjective means, every person can interpret tham differently. In the Elibabethan age, few, if any, works of literature were autobiographical.
5. The life of Edward de Veer is the life of an Aristocrat, not the life of a playwright.Being 14 years older than Shakespeare, he did attend Oxford University, but we do not have his grades/transcripts from that school. Going to a University does not make one a great writer. Christopher Marlowe attended Cambridge, but the school did not make him a great writer. Marlowe's father was a cobler in Canterbury, who might have been illiterate. Like Shakespeare's father, he had a trade, but no college education. They might have got along well. Why did not Shakespeare attend nearby Oxford University? I have no answer to that question. It might have been money, but then why did not he apply for a scholarship? I don't know. But he married at the age of 18 and had a family, and that my have been a big factor. Maybe he had a job. He had to support his family. A schoolteacher, as one biographer suggested. In any case, we are lucky that he did not attend Oxford, and instead stayed in Stratford to raise a family. The experience was worth 10 college educations for a writer. "You can take Shakespeare out of Stratford, but you can't take Stratford out of Shakespeare."
6. The life of Edward de Veer is a life of an aristocrat, not a man of the theater. "The Theater" the first commercial theater in London was opened in 1576 by James Burbage, but the birth of Renaissance in theatrical terms was with Thomas Kyd's "The Spanish Tragedy" in about 1586. de Veer was already 36 at this time. Marlowe and Shakespeare were 22. Kyd himself was 28. This was the birth of the theater in London, and de Veer's name is mentioned nowhere.
7. The chronology does not fit de Veer. In 1571, at 21, he married Ann Cecil. In 1575, at 25, he traveled to France, Germany and Italy for about 16 months. In 1530, at 30, he renounced Catholicism and accused a couple of Catholic friends of the Queen of treason. In 1581, at 31, Ann V. gave birth to his bastard son, but he refused to marry her (wasn't he still married to Ann Cecil?) de Veer was sent to the Tower for a brief vacation and lost favor at Court.
He is mentioned a first class Courtier poet, and Meres mentions him as the "best on Comedy", with Shakespeare the "best in Comedy and Tragedy" He is known to have a band of tumblers, and two theater troupes. The Oxford's Men were used to provincial touring. This is all true, and so why did de Veer have to put his name on the plays of Shakespeare? He didn't. He was known to be a playwright, and had troupes of his own actors. In 1585, at the age of 35, he was broke so joined the army in Holland. In 1586, Queen Elizabeth gave him an annual stipend. All his life, de Veer seems to have been saved from Penury by women.

Only 5 reviews, still? This book is SO bad that even the Oxfordian Mafia will touch it, with all of their knee-jerk 5 star reviews. Too embarrassing, I guess.
An excellent collection of essays that provide solid, supported facts, not the conjecture and supposition that passes for "orthodox" Shakespearean scholarship. Was Edward De Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, the real author of the plays and poems attributed to the pen name "William Shake-speare"? Quite possibly. Was the author, in fact, Willelmus Shakspere, commoner, money lender, investor, litigious illiterate crank of Stratford on Avon? Absolutely not. Ignore the lone negative review here, the "reviewer" freely admits to never reading the books he skewers, they being the books that don't conform to his comfortable received knowledge about a man who could barely write his own name being the greatest author in the history of the English language. It takes all kinds.
The Authorship Question is real, the Stratford man's authorship claim is false and "A Poet's Rage" mounts a compelling case in favor of De Vere. Read, be engrossed, decide for yourself.
This is an outstanding collection of Oxfordian essays from Shakespeare researchers, published in 2013 under the auspices of the New England Shakespeare Oxford Library.
Highly recommended for all those interested in authorship studies and the Bard in particular.
Care to have your face slapped at the next boring cocktail party you might be required to attend?
This is Maury Povich material at its best.
If you are intrigued by the authorship debate why not get to the salacious details that divide everyone?
Please pardon the pun, but why was there was such a cover up?
Just because the dullards in the ivory towers are terrified for their jobs over continually backing bootstrap boy, doesn't mean the rest of us can't appreciate a good story when we hear it.
The Oxfordian theory is biography much more suited for an artist than the incumbent drivel. Maybe you don't consider Shakespeare an artist?
The the trail leads where most of us aren't comfortable going, but there it is.........
A distillation of the only argument, so far, that rings of the truth to me.
See this mystery for the puzzle it is, now that the border is in place, the pieces are flying as scholars the world over are mining the wealth of the de Vere factor.
Traditional Oxfordian scholars are experiencing a schism over the contents of this book.
If this does it for you read Shakespears's Lost Kingdom by Charles Beauclerk next, to really tie the knot. Just saying.
Excellent Review of the authorship problem.
Finally the truth about Shakespeare (as Earl of Oxford). Enough hard evidence is given in the book to shame those who do not honor Edward De Vere for his achievement. How can you understand the Sonnets and the epic poems and the plays...if you dont first understand who Shakespeare is??? Book is a must!
As Hank Whittemore remarks again and again,
the key to the Elizabethan and Shakespearean mystery
is not mysticism and darkness, but *politics*.
I agree as well with Charles Beauclerk and William and Charles Boyle
when they say, in Chapter 2, that the kernel of the problem
is not Edward de Vere's royal identity, as well as his son
Southampton, but the Virgin Queen's icon, that idol of the
market Bacon warn us about. As they write insightfully,
"for some Oxfordians questioning the Virgin Queen's
virginity is 'an icon too far.'"
This book is for daredevils and freelances that need
the best theory in town to interpret the Sonnets.
Universities and their police are not going to erase,
this time, the identity and tragedy of the poet and his
son. Touchstone warned William so. Time is the daughter
of truth, indeed. Internet and the World Wide Web cannot
be stopped. No barriers. No dogs. Truth is out. Let the
