A poet's rage

understanding shakespeare through authorship studies

Edición de la obra A poet's rage

The essays in this collection look at Shakespeare's plays and poems from an Oxfordian perspective (i.e., that the true Shakespeare was Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford). The particular Oxfordian perspective held in common by all the contributors is that Shakespeare was always telling the story of his life and involvement in the Elizabethan Court and its politics, especially the red-hot politics of sucession (who would follow Elizabeth?) that engulfed the English nation in the final years of Elizabeth's reign. Yet, even as he expounded on these political issues of his day, his most profound writing was about his own story, the story of a man who had "laid great bases for eternity," but who also knew that, in the end, he himself would be erased from history.
