An investigation into modes of early modern English literary
'indirection,' this study could also be considered a detective work
on a pseudonym attached to some late sixteenth-century works. In
the course of unmasking 'R.L.', McCarthy scrutinizes devices
employed by writers in the Sidney coterie: punning, often across
languages; repetitio-insistence on a sound, or hiding two persons
'under one hood'; disingenuous juxtaposition; evocation of original
context; differential spelling (intended and significant). Among
McCarthy's stunning-but solidly underpinned-conclusions are:
Shakespeare used the pseudonym 'R.L.' among other pseudonyms; one,
'William Smith', was also his 'alias' in life; Shakespeare was at
the heart of the Sidney circle, whose literary programme was
hostile to Elizabeth I; and his work, composed mainly from the late
1570s to the early 90s, occasionally 'embedded' in the work of
others, was covertly alluded to more often than has been
recognized.
