The Earl of Oxford and the Making of “shakespeare”: The Literary Life of Edward de Vere in Context

by Richard Malim (2011)

This book fills a gap caused by the failure to recognize De Vere as a primary contributor to the history and development of English literature: the consensus is that, although there were stirrings in the literary scene, there was very little real development until the advent of Sidney, Marlowe, Greene and Peele in the mid-1580s. Then a few years later, out of the blue, along comes Shakespeare.

Questions on content, text, etc. including items in the Addenda and Corrigenda may be sent to Richard Malim.
