The Shakespeare Guide to Italy
Actor William Shaksper of Stratford had little education, never left England, and apparently owned no books. How could he have written the great plays and poetry attributed to him? Journalist Mark Andersonâs biography offers tantalizing proof that Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxfordâcourtier, spendthrift, scholar, traveler, soldier, scoundrel, and writerâwas the real âShakespeare.âÂ
As Anderson reveals, de Vere lived in Venice during his twenties, often in debt to its moneylenders (Merchant of Venice). He led military campaigns against rebellious nobles in Scotland (Macbeth). An extramarital affair resulted in fighting between his supporters and rivals (Romeo and Juliet). And when de Vere was publicly disgraced, he began using the pen name âShake-speareâ and appealed to Queen Elizabeth I through her favorite form of entertainmentâthe theater.
