{"product_id":"edward-de-vere-was-shake-speare-gilbert-wesley-purdy-9781543136258","title":"Edward De Vere was Shake-speare: at long last, the proof.","description":"\"Why write I still all one, ever the same, And keep invention in a noted weed, That every word doth almost tell my name, Showing their birth, and where they did proceed?\" fr. Shakespeare Sonnet #76 \"Alas 'tis true, I have gone here and there, And made myself a motley to the view, ...\" fr. Shakespeare Sonnet #110 What do you think? 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gilbert Wesley Purdy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1543136257\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781543136258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.32d","brand":"Gilbert Wesley Purdy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938341159167,"sku":"9781543136258","price":15.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_34d60041-dda4-43f3-a05c-127d70937dd0.jpg?v=1681435125","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/edward-de-vere-was-shake-speare-gilbert-wesley-purdy-9781543136258","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
