The identity of Shakespeare, the most important poet and dramatist
in the English language, has been debated for centuries. This
historical work investigates the role of Edward de Vere, the 17th
Earl of Oxford, establishing him as most likely the author of
Shakespeare's literary oeuvre. Topics include the historical
background of English literature from 1530 through 1575, major
contemporary transitions in the theatre, and a linguistically rich
examination of Oxford's life and the events leading to his literary
prominence. The sonnets, Oxford's early poetry, juvenile
"pre-Shakespeare" plays, and his acting career are of particular
interest. An appendix examines the role of the historical William
Shakespeare and how he became associated with Oxford's work.
