Book excerpt: This long overdue investigation carefully questions the authorship of many of 'Shakespeare's' Sonnets. The Sonnets have to be seen as a collection of individual true-life accounts by different male and female writers to be properly understood. This is the key to the integrity of these literary masterpieces. When read in this light: a clear picture soon emerges. The simple logic of these findings certainly demands further academic and non-academic attention. Some of the more satirical sonnets were indeed by Shakespeare but most were probably by 'Rival Poet' members of the aristocratic Sidney family. Many were private and confidential and patently never approved for publication. This is an extremely important point. Sonnets are not about theatre they are about real life. Several sonnets show clearly feminine style and content. The natural beauty of those by the unmistakable Mary Sidney/Herbert, Lady Pembroke; Nos.1-17, at least, shines out from the best of them. Further sonnets by her son William Herbert, 3rd Earl of Pembroke and her niece Mary Sidney/Wroth are of considerable historical and romantic interest. The evidence is overwhelming. However, we must seriously challenge the overbearing weight of centuries of sexism, false premises and half-truths surrounding the Sonnets. Prevailing pseudo-homosexual 'Fair Youth' myths, for example, are deemed dubious, distracting and unconvincing. Shakespeare was evidently not comfortable with the sonnet format but the glory, authorship and integrity of his Plays remains unsurpassed. When reading the Sonnets we find further real-life male/female stories of adolescent infatuation, ambition, and scandal in the shadow of the early 17th C. Royal Court. Just read the Sonnets in this book and then judge for yourself!

Few Sonnets have been more commented on than I 3 5 and 136. My cousin, Mr. R. M. Theobald, holds them to have been written by Bacon to Queen Elizabeth, but not only are they too audaciously worded for this to be possible, but the writer distinctly says his name is Will.

Book excerpt: It is long overdue that someone took a closer look at the brilliant Mary Sidney. I have a suspicion that Mary Sidney’s life, and especially her dedication to the English language after her brother’s death, may throw important light on the mysterious authorship of the Shakespeare plays and poems. —Mark Rylance Actor; Artistic Director of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, 1996–2006; Chairman of the Shakespearean Authorship Trust For more than two hundred years, a growing number of researchers have questioned whether the man named William Shakespeare actually wrote the works attributed to him. There is no paper trail for William Shakespeare—no record that he was ever paid for writing, nothing in his handwriting but a few signatures on legal documents, no evidence of his presence in the royal court except as an actor in his later years, no confirmation of his involvement in the literary circles of the time. With so little information about this man—and even less evidence connecting him to the plays and sonnets—what can and what can’t we assume about the author of the greatest works of the English language? For the first time, Robin P. Williams presents an in-depth inquiry into the possibility that Mary Sidney Herbert, the Countess of Pembroke, wrote the works attributed to the man named William Shakespeare. As well educated as Queen Elizabeth I, this woman was at the forefront of the literary movement in England, yet not allowed to write for the public stage. But that’s just the beginning . . . The first question I am asked by curious freshmen in my Shakespeare course is always, “Who wrote these plays anyway?” Now, because of Robin Williams’ rigorous scholarship and artful sleuthing, Mary Sidney Herbert will forever have to be mentioned as a possible author of the Shakespeare canon. Sweet Swan of Avon doesn’t pretend to put the matter to rest, but simply shows how completely reasonable the authorship controversy is, and how the idea of a female playwright surprisingly answers more Shakespearean conundrums than it creates... —Cynthia Lee Katona Professor of Shakespeare and Women’s Studies, Ohlone College; Author of Book Savvy

Download or read book On the Authorship Controversy written by Robert U. Ayres and published by Academica Press. This book was released on 2018-08-15 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the Authorship Controversy is about how a historical deception has survived as a tradition for nearly 400 years, despite numerous challenges. I am referring to the “tradition” that the works attributed to William Shakespeare of Stratford-on-Avon were actually written by him, despite no evidence of schooling or access to libraries, lack of recognition by other playwrights when he died, and much more. The editors of the definitive decennial edition of his works, together with virtually all other scholars of English Literature, have declared that this rural fellow is the true author. This book offers irrefutable mathematical evidence that Christopher Marlowe -- graduate of Cambridge University, the inventor of iambic pentameter, and the author of seven important plays before “Shakespeare” had ever been heard of -- did not die in late May 1593, as officially reported by the Queen’s Coroner. How do we know that Marlowe was alive and the author of the sonnets? He announced his authorship in ciphers that are clear and unmistakable once you find the key. The key was found by an independent scholar named Peter Bull in 2005. He self-published his findings because the mainstream publishers were not interested, and very few people bothered to read his work. I did, and I have now undertaken to make his discovery a little more accessible to the general reader.

Download or read book Shakespeare's Sonnets written by Kenneth Farnol and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-17 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regardless of pro/anti Shakespeare factions: there are many reasons to question the authorship of 'Shakespeare's' Sonnets. This independent book compares and discusses a number of the 'Shakespeare' Sonnets with some remarkable findings. The mixed-gender Sonnets are clearly Satirical, Aristocratic or Political by nature. They were self-evidently never intended for publication in 1609. This study does not depend on unconvincing folklore or 'theories' but relies on significant evidence from the Sonnets themselves. It is advised that this book seriously challenges the status-quo. Curiously, these diverse Sonnets appear in recognisable 'blocs' of separate authorship in accordance with the non-sequential 1609 'pirated' numbering scheme. See Tables. William Shakespeare indeed wrote some of the 1609 Sonnets bearing his name, e.g., 126-154. Others, were most likely to have been written by members of the eminent Sidney/Herbert/Wroth family, together with other unknown authors. Many, such as 1-17, plainly relate to intimate heterosexual arranged-marriage issues. Those by the idiosyncratically 'Sweet' Lady Pembroke and her wayward 'Fair Youth' son William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke, (who 'owned' the Sonnets) are instantly recognisable. Attention is drawn to the long-overlooked Mary Wroth/'Worth' puns and cruel sexual metaphors in Sonnets 80 and 83 alone. Subject to recent scholarship and freedom from an exclusively 'Shakespeare' mindset; this long-overdue guide-book encourages open-minded readers to re-read the Sonnets at simple face-value and draw their own conclusions...
