'Shakespeare' by Another Name: The Life of Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford, the Man Who Was Shakespeare (平装) 1592402151

The debate over the true author of Shakespeare?s body of work (some of which was publishedunder the name "Shake-speare") began not long after the death of William Shakespeare, theobscure actor and entrepreneur from Stratford-upon-Avon who was conventionally assumed to bethe author. There were natural doubts that an uneducated son of a glover who never left Englandand apparently owned no books could have produced some of the greatest works of Westernliterature. Early investigators into the mystery argued for such eminent figures as ChristopherMarlowe or Francis Bacon as possible authors, but recent scholarship has turned to Edward deVere, 17th Earl of Oxford, as the true Shakespeare.

"Shakespeare" by Another Name is the first complete literary biography of Edward de Verethat tells the story of his action-packed life?as student, soldier, courtier, lawyer, political intriguer,sophisticate, traveler, and, above all, writer?finding in it the background material for all ofShakespeare?s plays. Anderson brings to bear a wealth of new evidence, most notably de Vere?spersonal copy of the Bible (recently analyzed to show the correlation between his underliningsand the biblical allusions in Shakespeare?s work) and has employed it all to at last give acomplete portrait and background to the man who was "Shakespeare."
