Shakespeare's Sonnets by Kenneth Farnol Pdf

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...

Who Wrote Shakespeare's Sonnets? by Kenneth Farnol Pdf

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!

Testimony of the Sonnets as to the Authorship of the Shakespearean Plays and Poems by Jesse Johnson Pdf

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.

"Every word doth almost tell my name" by P.D. McIntosh Pdf

Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day? With these immortal lines Shakespeare begins his most famous sonnet and perhaps the most famous love poem of all time. But this poem, and more than 100 others, first published 400 years ago in a slim volume entitled Shakespeare's Sonnets, was written by Shakespeare not about a beautiful young woman, but about a beautiful young man, whom Shakespeare addresses as "my lovely boy." If Shakespeare was infatuated with a lovely boy, who was he? If he was a rich aristocrat, as the sonnets seem to suggest, how did Shakespeare make his acquaintance? Who was the Dark Lady described in the later sonnets? And what is the meaning of the Sonnets' enigmatic dedication that refers to the mysterious Mr.W.H.? These questions and innumerable others have perplexed scholars for centuries. No comprehensive answers to the immensely puzzling questions raised by the poems have ever been presented. This book takes a fresh approach to the difficult issues presented by the Sonnets and upsets many cherished assumptions about the handsome young man, the Dark Lady, Mr.W.H. and Shakespeare himself.

The Diverse Authorship of Shakespeare's Sonnets by Kenneth Farnol Pdf

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...
