Excerpt from On the Authorship of the Sonnets Attributed to Shakespeare: An Enquiry Into the Respective Claims of Bacon, Sir Philip Sidney and Others to Be Their Author Poor lady 1 She deserved a better fate, who, though advanced in pregnancy, hurried to' nurse her husband on his lingering death-bed at Arnheim, whose only fault was that he lacked the power to command his own truant heart, though all the while recognising the claims of her to Whom it properly belonged. Few Sonnets have been more commented on than I 3 5 and 136. My cousin, Mr. R. M. Theobald, holds them to have been written by Bacon to Queen Elizabeth, but not only are they too audaciously worded for this to be possible, but the writer distinctly says his name is Will.

This book contains the speculation on the real identity of William Shakespeare and the authorship of poems that are traditionally attributed to him. Johnson states that the sonnets' tone reveals the writer's personality and that personality differs from the biographical accounts of Shakespeare.

Regardless of pro/anti Shakespeare factions: there are many reasons to question the authorship of 'Shakespeare's' Sonnets. This independent book compares and discusses a number of the 'Shakespeare' Sonnets with some remarkable findings. The mixed-gender Sonnets are clearly Satirical, Aristocratic or Political by nature. They were self-evidently never intended for publication in 1609. This study does not depend on unconvincing folklore or 'theories' but relies on significant evidence from the Sonnets themselves. It is advised that this book seriously challenges the status-quo. Curiously, these diverse Sonnets appear in recognisable 'blocs' of separate authorship in accordance with the non-sequential 1609 'pirated' numbering scheme. See Tables. William Shakespeare indeed wrote some of the 1609 Sonnets bearing his name, e.g., 126-154. Others, were most likely to have been written by members of the eminent Sidney/Herbert/Wroth family, together with other unknown authors. Many, such as 1-17, plainly relate to intimate heterosexual arranged-marriage issues. Those by the idiosyncratically 'Sweet' Lady Pembroke and her wayward 'Fair Youth' son William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke, (who 'owned' the Sonnets) are instantly recognisable. Attention is drawn to the long-overlooked Mary Wroth/'Worth' puns and cruel sexual metaphors in Sonnets 80 and 83 alone. Subject to recent scholarship and freedom from an exclusively 'Shakespeare' mindset; this long-overdue guide-book encourages open-minded readers to re-read the Sonnets at simple face-value and draw their own conclusions...

Bronwen Wallace Memorial Award-winning poet Sonnet L'Abbé returns with her third collection, in which a mixed-race woman decomposes her inheritance of Shakespeare by breaking open the sonnet and inventing an entirely new poetic form. DOROTHY LIVESAY POETRY PRIZE FINALIST RAYMOND SOUSTER AWARD FINALIST How can poetry grapple with how some cultures assume the place of others? How can English-speaking writers use the English language to challenge the legacy of colonial literary values? In Sonnet's Shakespeare, one young, half-dougla (mixed South Asian and Black) poet tries to use "the master's tools" on the Bard's "house," attempting to dismantle his monumental place in her pysche and in the poetic canon. In a defiant act of literary patricide and a feat of painstaking poetic labour, Sonnet L'Abbé works with the pages of Shakespeare's sonnets as a space she will inhabit, as a place of power she will occupy. Letter by letter, she sits her own language down into the white spaces of Shakespeare's poems, until she overwhelms the original text and effectively erases Shakespeare's voice by subsuming his words into hers. In each of the 154 dense new poems of Sonnet's Shakespeare sits one "aggrocultured" Shakespearean sonnet--displaced, spoken over, but never entirely silenced. L'Abbé invented the process of Sonnet's Shakespeare to find a way to sing from a body that knows both oppression and privilege. She uses the procedural techniques of Oulipian constraint and erasure poetries to harness the raw energies of her hyperconfessional, trauma-forged lyric voice. This is an artist's magnum opus and mixed-race girlboy's diary; the voice of a settler on stolen Indigenous territories, a sexual assault survivor, a lover of Sylvia Plath and Public Enemy. Touching on such themes as gender identity, pop music, nationhood, video games, and the search for interracial love, this book is a poetic achievement of undeniable scope and significance.

This long overdue investigation carefully questions the authorship of many of 'Shakespeare's' Sonnets. The Sonnets have to be seen as a collection of individual true-life accounts by different male and female writers to be properly understood. This is the key to the integrity of these literary masterpieces. When read in this light: a clear picture soon emerges. The simple logic of these findings certainly demands further academic and non-academic attention. Some of the more satirical sonnets were indeed by Shakespeare but most were probably by 'Rival Poet' members of the aristocratic Sidney family. Many were private and confidential and patently never approved for publication. This is an extremely important point. Sonnets are not about theatre they are about real life. Several sonnets show clearly feminine style and content. The natural beauty of those by the unmistakable Mary Sidney/Herbert, Lady Pembroke; Nos.1-17, at least, shines out from the best of them. Further sonnets by her son William Herbert, 3rd Earl of Pembroke and her niece Mary Sidney/Wroth are of considerable historical and romantic interest. The evidence is overwhelming. However, we must seriously challenge the overbearing weight of centuries of sexism, false premises and half-truths surrounding the Sonnets. Prevailing pseudo-homosexual 'Fair Youth' myths, for example, are deemed dubious, distracting and unconvincing. Shakespeare was evidently not comfortable with the sonnet format but the glory, authorship and integrity of his Plays remains unsurpassed. When reading the Sonnets we find further real-life male/female stories of adolescent infatuation, ambition, and scandal in the shadow of the early 17th C. Royal Court. Just read the Sonnets in this book and then judge for yourself!

It is proposed that William Shakespeare did not write all of the sonnets bearing his name. This strictly independent publication compares and discusses all 154 'Shakespeare's' Sonnets with some remarkable findings. There are many valid reasons to question the authorship of 'Shakespeare's' Sonnets. They are clearly Satirical, Aristocratic or Political and were self-evidently never intended for illicit publication in 1609. This impartial book does not depend on unconvincing folklore or 'theories' but relies on evidence from the Sonnets themselves. William Shakespeare indeed wrote some of the Sonnets bearing his name. Many, by style and content, were more likely to have been written by the eminent Sidney/Herbert/Wroth family together with other unknown authors. Who has never wondered about the first-person authorship of 'maternal' Sonnet Nos. 1-17? Were these intimate family Sonnets really 'commissioned' to be written by a busy playwright when they are plainly in the 'sweet' metaphysical style of the distinguished poet Mary Sidney Herbert, Countess of Pembroke? Then, who can deny that long-overlooked Mary (Sidney) 'Wroth/Worth' puns and insensitive metaphors in Sonnet Nos. 80 and 83 were probably written by her 'Fair Youth' cousin/lover William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke (who clearly 'owned' the Sonnets) on the occasion of her arranged-marriage in 1604? Subject to recent scholarship and freedom from an exclusively 'Shakespeare' mindset: this long-overdue investigation encourages open-minded readers to reread the Sonnets at simple face-value and draw their own conclusions...

Excerpt from Testimony of the Sonnets as to the Authorship of the Shakespearean Plays and Poems The Shakespearean Sonnets are not a single or connected work like an ordinary play or poem. Their composition apparently extended over a considerable time, which may be fairly estimated as not less than four years. Read literally they seem to portray thoughts, modes or experiences fairly assignable to such a period. Though variable and sometimes light and airy in their movement, the greater portion appear to reveal deep and intense emotion, the welling and tumultous floods of the inner life of their great author. And their difficulty or mystery is, that they indicate circumstances, surroundings, experiences and regrets that we almost instinctively apprehend could not have been those of William Shakespeare at the time they were written, when he must have been in the strength of early manhood, in the warmth and glow of recent and extraordinary advancement and success.

Pre-University Paper from the year 2015 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 15 NP, , language: English, abstract: William Shakespeare was born in 1564 and died in 1616 in Stratford-upon-Avon farther writing plays like "Romeo and Juliet", "Othello", "Macbeth", "A Midsummer Night’s Dream" and others. He was a brilliant playwright creating nearly 40 productions and 154 sonnets, while dwelling in London. This is at least the majority opinion taught in schools. There is however reason for doubt. While dealing a bit deeper with Shakespeare you unavoidably will come to the point that opinions differ in the question if he truly was who he pretended to be. Imagine the magnificent bard was not the author of all the dramas, comedies, history plays and poems. Or could it be possible that this famous name was just a pseudonym? And if it was, then the question is why? Which clues for and against are existing? In the English lessons we learned the prevailing aspects along with the common view about the grand composer and his plays. After a rough contribution into the authorship debate more questions emerged and the foundation of this term paper was laid. To come to one of many answers, this work will be structured at first in a short biography of Shakespeare and an overview of his time concerning the theatre and authorship in general. Afterwards I would like to explore positions that assume Shakespeare not to be the man who is thought to be the drafter Shakespeare. On the other hand also the opposing view will be presented and explained. To forge an own profound opinion it is significant to have a review about this complex of themes. A detailed presentation of my own view regarding arguments for and against Shakespeare from Stratford as the writer will be followed by a final synopsis and prospect of the issue. So the focus in this work is more on investigate the Stratford-man than on other theories, even though these will come up for discussion. Because of their multifacetedness it would go beyond the scopes of this term paper.
