Shakespeare by Another Name
Author(s): Mark Anderson
This work is the first ever complete literary biography of this man many claim to be the real bard. The debate over the true author of Shakespeare's body of work began not long after the death of William Shakespeare, the obscure actor and entrepreneur from Stratford-Upon-Avon who was conventionally assumed to be the author. Early investigations into the mystery argued for such eminent figures as Christopher Marlowe or Francis Bacon, but recent scholarship has turned towards Edward de Vere. ""Shakerpeare" by Another Name" is the first complete literary biography of Edward de Vere that tells the story of his action-packed life - as student, soldier, courtier, lawyer, sophisticate, traveller and writer - finding in it uncanny similarities to situations and characters found in Shakespeare's plays. Anderson brings to bear a wealth of new evidence and has employed it all to give a complete portrait and background to the man who was "Shakespeare".
Product Information
"Makes a compelling case...Anderson's demonstration of how de Vere's real life matches the characters and circumstances found in the plays attributed to Shakespeare is especially impressive." - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution "Deserves serious attention...Mr Anderson shows there are myriad Shakespeare authorship connections for de Vere." - The New York Times "Tantalising parallels between the plays and Oxford's life certainly exist...Anderson has a knack for finding fishy aspects of the traditional view that Shakespeare was Shakespeare." - New York Sun"
