Description
The Earl of Oxford and the Making of "Shakespeare" The Literary Life of Edward de Vere in Context by Richard Malim This historical work explores the idea that Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, was the true author of Shakespeare's literary oeuvre. The book delves into the historical background of English literature from 1530 to 1575, examining major transitions in the theatre and a linguistically rich examination of Oxford's life. The sonnets, early poetry, juvenile plays, and acting career are all subjects of interest in this study. An appendix examines the role of William Shakespeare and how he became associated with Oxford's work. By investigating these topics, Malim sheds new light on the authorship debate that has captivated scholars for centuries.
