Oxford, Courtier to the Queen: A BiographyPageant Press, 1964 - 198 pagina's "Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford (12 April 1550 ? 24 June 1604) was an English peer and courtier of the Elizabethan era. Although he had a reckless, unpredictable, and violent nature that precluded him from attaining any court or government responsibility and led to the ruination of his estate, Oxford was a patron of the arts and noted in his own time as a lyric poet and playwright, and since the 1920s he has been the most popular alternative candidate proposed for the authorship of Shakespeare's works."--Wikipedia. |
