This book is the first to argue that the Rival Poet of
Shakespeare's Sonnets is the well-known young Elizabethan writer
Richard Barnfield (1574-1620), long suspected to have been one of
Shakespeare's "private friends" (as they were termed by Francis
Meres in 1598), with whom (as Meres also tells us) Shakespeare
shared some of his sonnets. This is also the first book to argue
that William Stanley (1561-1642), sixth earl of Derby, is the young
man to whom they addressed their respective sonnets and other love
poems in the period c. 1592-1595. In making these identifications,
this is the first book to examine in detail the dialogue between
Shakespeare's Sonnets and three of Barnfield's books of poetry (all
published within a little more than one year)--a dialogue only
known to be discussed in a conference paper and one other
book.William Shakespeare, Richard Barnfield, and the Sixth Earl of
Derby will likely appeal to all readers interested in Shakespeare's
life and love poetry, both specialist scholars and non-specialist
enthusiasts alike.
