Riassunto

A Shakespeare expert explores the life of the bard and the role Queen Elizabeth I played in it, from the queen whose sexual escapades posed a threat to the royalty, to the poet whose identity crisis fueled a body of great works, and the controversy that survived both of them for centuries.

Recensione:

"Beauclerk has not only scandalized professors throughout the English departments of the world's schools and universities, he has thrown down the gauntlet to historians as well . . . and he has garnered supporters in this long-simmering debate." The Boston Globe

Beauclerk’s learned, deep scholarship, compelling research, engaging style and convincing interpretation won me completely. He has made me view the whole Elizabethan world afresh. The plays glow with new life, exciting and real, infused with the soul of a man too long denied his inheritance.” Sir Derek Jacobi

An intriguing book that proposes another forceful argument in this age old debate. Beauclerk’s detailed exploration divides the mythical notions from the historical truths. You will have a hard time putting this book down.” Roland Emmerich

"Charles Beauclerk is an engaging, learned, and engrossing speaker. On the subject of Shakespeare, they don't come any better." William F. Buckley Jf.

An extraordinary and controversial interpretation of Shakespeare's origins, which certainly provokes much thought. A radical analysis of Shakespeare's text, leading to a conclusion which is bound to amaze the reader and the scholar. Who was Shakespeare?”
Steven Berkoff

Captivating . . . Beauclerk writes persuasively, mixing history with quotes from Shakespeare's works in a style that's far from the overly-academic manner you might expect for such a detailed literary and historical analysis. As the pieces of his theory come together, even the most ardent adherent to Stratfordian mythology” (that a lowly son of a glove-maker from Stratford-upon-Avon was Shakespeare) may find themselves having second thoughts.” Kevin Lauderdale, Author Magazine

"[The authorship question] stands as one of the great undiscovered lands of Shakespearean research, full of resounding insights into the plays we love so well . . . Charles Beauclerk must be one of the most learned speakers on the Earl of Oxford. He is passionate and gracious about his subject." Mark Rylance, First Artistic Director of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre

"Charles Beauclerk is eloquent and persuasive in his defense of the thesis that the Earl of Oxford wrote the works of William Shakespeare." Ambassador Paul H. Nitze, The Nitze School, Johns Hokins University
