Did a London street hustler, from nearby Stratford-on-Avon, with no more than an eighth grade education write the works of Shakespeare? How about a reckless, brilliant Earl who lived many strange adventures and turned to writing, under a pen name (in order to avoid the embarrassment of being known as a common playwright), after he ran through all of his money? This is the Introductory Biography to a two volume *Collected Poems of Edward de Vere*. Two smoking-gun proofs discovered and presented here for the first time together with lots of other information not generally known. Not an ounce of fluff or filler. This is a biography of Edward De Vere, the seventeenth Earl of Oxford, such as you have never read before: compressed, precise, entirely fact-oriented, the greatest fact being that De Vere can actually be proven to have written the works of William Shake-speare. It is all supported by extensive notes and bibliography and most of the sources are available for verification free-of-charge via the Google Book Search. You can check the veracity of every assertion if you wish or just skip the notes and read this as a popular biography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.32 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 28, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47428228055218,"sku":"9781543136258","price":20.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/b2786910ba9990f6d338b59f17eeac87.webp?v=1778534028","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/edward-de-vere-was-shake-speare-at-long-last-the-proof-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
