Egentligen var den som öppnade frågan professor Abel Lefranc (1863-1952), en av Frankrikes främsta inom litteraturvetenskapen, som i en bok kallad "Bakom Shakespeares mask" efter ett livsverk av seriösa forskningar lanserade en ny teori om den verklige mannen bakom namnet William Shakespeare. Hans namn var minsann William, men efternamnet var ett helt annat än det i England som Olsson och Eriksson i Sverige då lika vanliga namnet Shakespeare (även Shakspere, Shagsbeard, Shaxpier, etc). Man kommer ju inte ifrån, att skådespelaren William Shakespeare från Stratford, som bara var en enkel ofrälse, som nödgades gifta sig med en åtta år äldre fru för att han gjort henne med barn, som flydde från henne till London för att inleda sin teaterkarriär som hästvaktare utanför teatern, som aldrig lämnade England och som tidigt drog sig tillbaka för att dö bara 51-årig, efter att ha testamenterat bara sin nästbästa säng till sitt gamla rivjärn till änka, är svår att sätta i samband med 36 högtravande skådespel som genomgående vittnar om högadlig förtrogenhet med kungar och hertigar, internationell beresthet och expertkunskap om förhållanden till sjöss, i krig och i så fjärran länder som Turkiet (Bosporen), Danmark (Kronborgs slott), Italien, Grekland och Orienten. Med sitt pionjärarbete 1918 inledde professor Abel Lefranc en lavin av nya spekulationer om vem den verklige William Shakespeare kunde ha varit, men de flesta av dessa spekulationer ledde i regel bara fram till, att eftersom Shakespeare inte kunnat vara Edmund Spenser, inte Francis Bacon, inte Christopher Marlowe, inte Thomas Kyd eller en hel drös av andra berömliga elisabetanska kandidater, så förblev det ändå troligast att William Shakespeare helt enkelt hade varit William Shakespeare. Väldigt få tog därmed fasta på professor Abel Lefrancs intressanta vinkar, men några få gjorde det. Det var framför allt A.W.Titherley 1952 i "Shakespeares identitet" och Carl O. Nordling i "Hamlets hemlighet" från 1995. Dessa har arbetat vidare på professor Abel Lefrancs teorier och styrkt dem. Dessa går ut på, att den som skrev under Shakespeares namn var ingen mindre än William Stanley, den sjätte earlen av Derby, ättling till Henrik VIII:s romantiska lillasyster Mary Tudor, med både Anne Boleyn, drottning Elisabet, Maria Stuart och kung James I som kusiner i olika led. Han var alltså närbesläktad med det engelska kungahuset och kunde själv ha blivit kung efter Elisabet, om han hade velat. Men han skrev "Hamlet" i stället, som var hans förklaring varför. Carl O. Nordling från Borgå styrker dessa teorier med ett överväldigande övertygande indiciematerial. Till de tyngsta argumenten hör pseudonymen Shakespeares språkbruk, som i sina dialektala ingredienser är övervägande nordengelskt från trakterna Derbyshire, Yorkshire och Lancastershire, William Stanleys hemtrakter, som William Shakespeare aldrig kom i närheten av. Talrika pjäser vittnar om internationell expertkunskap utomlands, som William Stanley måste ha omfattat genom sina vidlyftiga resor, medan Stratfordskådespelaren aldrig kom utanför sitt hemlands dörr. Scener i "Hamlet" vittnar om intim kunskap om förhållanden vid kung Fredrik II:s hov på Kronborgs slott (invigt 1585) där William Stanley vistades, då han troligen skrev den tyska "Ur-Hamlet" som uppfördes vid invigningen med honom själv troligen i en av rollerna, den dilettantiska pjäs på dålig skoltyska ur vilken senare de engelska versionerna utvecklades. Dessa är bara några argumentexempel. Denna tes öppnar emellertid en hel värld av nya intressanta spörsmål, av vilka alla måste röra sig kring frågan vem denne märklige excentriske högaristokrat, som hellre skrev pjäser än tog hand om den engelska kronan, i så fall egentligen var. Mysteriet 4 William Shakespeare blir därmed större och mera oöverskådligt och outrannsakligt än någonsin. Vår enda vägledning är egentligen de få bristfälliga fakta vi har om William Stanleys liv samt William Shakespeares 36 fullbordade pjäser. Av dessa två källor framstår den senare som den mera upplysande. Man kan ju numera med ganska stor säkerhet fastställa den kronologiska ordningen på Shakespearepjäserna. Till de första hör de passionerade krönikespelen om engelsk medeltidshistoria — Lancastersviterna — som vittnar om ett glödande historiskt intresse och ett djupt engagemang i just huset Lancasters sak, som William Stanley själv tillhörde. Ett brinnande intresse i italienska förhållanden och dess mentalitet kommer fram i de tidiga italienska komedierna och framför allt i tragedin "Romeo och Julia". Den rasande dramaproduktionen fram till år 1600 skriker i pjäs efter pjäs om hur roligt författaren tyckte det

  • Fernando Pessoa: a Peripheral Shakespearean out of His Time
    Vincenzo Russo Fernando Pessoa: A Peripheral Shakespearean out of his Time I was a poet animated by philosophy, not a philosopher with poetic faculties. I loved to admire the beauty of things, to trace in the imperceptible through the minute the poetic soul of the universe. he poetry of the earth is never dead. — Fernando Pessoa Traces of Portuguese Modernism he irst historical avant-garde of Portuguese literature may be easily iden- tiied from a chronological point of view. he blaze of avant-garde icono- clasm burned itself out in a little less than two years, as part of a modernist experience which, by contrast, was to continue in its various forms and recurrences at least until the Second World War. his period of the irst avant-garde falls between the publication dates of two short-lived but highly signiicant journals, Orpheu (1915) and Portugal Futurista (1917). he irst two issues of Orpheu – a third was on the brink of publication but was never printed for inancial reasons – came out in March and June of 1915 and, for all the critical complications involved, mark the beginning of Modernism in Portugal. In Fernando Pessoa’s words, Orpheu was the ‘sum and synthesis of all modern literary movements’ and was to prove capable of absorbing Europe’s disruptive literary aesthetic movements (Futurism, Cubism, Vorticism, Orphism) through a process which was not merely 192 Vincenzo Russo of imitation but transposition, as became a peripheral context such as Portugal: with a hallmark of originality which best represents the form, transitory perhaps, but also highly typical, of early Portuguese Modernism.

  • The Other W.S., William Stanley, Sixth Earl of Derby
    The Other W.S., William Stanley, Sixth Earl of Derby John Raithel n the following, I hope to provide a reasonable summary of the evidence I that I believe points to William Stan- ley, the sixth earl of Derby, as the author of the works generally attributed to Shake- speare. I do not intend, of course, to pre- sent all the material here, but do hope to give a reasonable history of the Derbyite conviction, and in so doing point to some of the sources, compilers, and interpreters of this information, and then bring it up to date with recent discoveries and publica- tions. Beginning with the referenced works, I believe the interested reader will find much to flesh-out the skeleton sketched here. There are good reasons for suspecting that the traditional assignation of the authorship of Shakespeare’s works is misplaced. These are based on statements made about the works at the time of their appearance, evidence concerning the traditional candidate, and inferences derived from the works themselves. There are also good reasons for suspecting the true author to be William Stanley, the sixth earl of Derby. Some of these, too, are based on statements made about the author of the works, and inferences derived from the works themselves. And some are based on evidence concerning William Stanley. None of the statements, evidence, or inferences is conclusive—for Stanley or anyone else—or there would be no controversy. The case for Derby is made by examining the available material and attempting to weight it appropriately, assigning, for example, less weight to inferences drawn from the plays by a Derbyite—where there must be a natural bias toward interpreting the evidence in support of Derby—and more weight to a contemporary’s comments about the author, or to modern research by a non-Derbyite scholar.

  • Shakespeare Authorship Question 1 Shakespeare Authorship Question
    Shakespeare authorship question 1 Shakespeare authorship question The Shakespeare authorship question is the argument that someone other than William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon wrote the works traditionally attributed to him, and that the historical Shakespeare was merely a front to shield the identity of the real author or authors, who for reasons such as social rank, state security or gender could not safely take public credit.[1] Although the idea has attracted much public interest,[2] all but a few Shakespeare scholars and literary historians consider it a fringe belief with no hard evidence, and for the most part disregard it except to rebut or disparage the claims.[3] Shakespeare's authorship was first questioned in the middle of the 19th century, when adulation of Shakespeare as the greatest writer of all time had become widespread.[4] Shakespeare's biography, with his humble origins and obscure life, seemed incompatible with his poetic eminence and reputation as a natural genius,[5] arousing suspicion that Shakespeare might not have written the works attributed to him.[6] Shakespeare surrounded by (clockwise from top right): Bacon, Derby, Marlowe and Oxford, each of whom has been [7] The controversy has since spawned a vast body of literature, proposed as the true author. and more than 70 authorship candidates have been proposed,[8] including Francis Bacon, the Earl of Derby, Christopher Marlowe, and the Earl of Oxford.[9] Proponents believe that their candidate is the more plausible author in terms of education, life experience

  • Occulist Influence on the Authorship Controversy
    ©cculigt influence on tlje Sutljorsffjip Controbergp 3^oser iSple jParisiious; This monograph is dedicated with admiration to John Price, an honest and passionate Oxfordian It would be unprofitable and futile to engage any prominent public representative of the Tudor Rose (nee Royal Birth) theory in further debate. It is now merely symptomatic of a larger social malaise and belongs in a history of sociology, advertising, or conspiracy theories, not literary scholarship. The history of this Oxfordian sub-movement, since it is primarily a story of concepts derived from obsessive literary metaphor and personal emotion, must be told through the lives of its progenitors, as it has no other real life. Oxfordian critics have always maintained that the life becomes the work. And the lives of the original Tudor Rose proponents, Capt. B. M. Ward (son of Col. B. R. Ward), Percy Allen, and Dorothy Ogbum, explain their work on Tudor Rose theory, though both their writings and their lives offer us many finer hours. As these hours are too frequentiy unrecorded, the present author places himself in the difficult position of suddenly interjecting as defense counsel, while indicting friends to whom he owes much. We are scholars here, hopefully, dealing with documentary evidence, but documents are only part of the story that we will never see completely. Anyone is free to reject the memorial portion of this article. They do not affect the thrust of the argument. Capt. Ward was a very brave man and his published work is of a high standard, while the Tudor Rose theory was merely a private Freudian abena- tion.

  • “Shakespeare” Identified in Edward De Vere the Seventeenth Earl of Oxford
    The de Vere Society newsletter July 2020 newsletter 02Apro “SHAKESPEARE” IDENTIFIED IN EDWARD DE V0ERE THE SEVENTEENTH EARL OF OXFORD BY J. THOMAS LOONEY (1920) By Kevin Gilvary On 04 March 1920, a quiet schoolmaster called J. Thomas Looney published a seminal study entitled “Shakespeare” Identified in Edward de Vere the Seventeenth Earl of Oxford. This work established the theory that the Earl of Oxford was the concealed poet and playwright of the works of Shakespeare. To mark this centenary, The de Vere Society is devoting this issue of its quarterly newsletter to our founding father. Life John Thomas Looney (pictured here in his wedding portrait) was born in 1870 to a Methodist family in South Shields, an industrial town near the mouth of the River Tyne. It lies about five miles downstream of Newcastle-upon- Tyne. At the age of sixteen, he attended the Chester Diocesan Training College, with a view to becoming a minister. After several years of study, he changed vocation and trained as a teacher there. The Principal at the time was the Rev. J. D. Best of Queens’ College, Cambridge.1 Fig. 1: Wedding portrait, c.1890s www.deveresociety.co.uk 3 Like Follow us: us: The de Vere Society newsletter July 2020 newsletter 02Apro He enjoyed a long and successful career in teaching, doubtless at Gateshead0 High School on the Durham Road. This establishment came under the authority of the local borough in 1894 when it admitted girls in addition to boys. It is unlikely that any other school in the borough would have been teaching Shakespeare.
