Hardback. Condition: Very Good Plus. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 2001. First edition. [vii], viii, 351pp. Edward de Vere, 17th earl of Oxford, is now the only serious alternative claimant to authorship of some the works of Shakespeare. He is supported by an active minority of 'heretics', but the issue remains unresolved. This book shows there is a growing body of evidence which demonstrates Edward de Vere's part in the background of a number of the plays; and offers information essential for an appreciation of how the plays were made. The book is bound in the original black boards with gold titling on the spine. The book is in excellent condition and the contents are tight and clean. The author has inscribed and signed the front free endpaper thus: "With gratitude for your kind help and interest. Edward Holmes, November 2001." The unclipped dustwrapper is also in excellent condition with light shelf wear. lvi, 456pp. Top edge gilt. The aim of this book is to provide and accurate and complete text, with critical and supplementary matter, of all those plays which can, without entire absurdity, be included in the 'doubtfully Shakespearian' class. The plays included are: Arden of Feversham; Locrine; Edward III; Mucedorus; Sir John Oldcastle; Thomas Lord Cromwell; The Lomndon Prodigal; The Puritan; A Yorkshire Tragedy; The Merry Devil of Edmonton; Fair em; The Two Noble Kinsmen; The Birth of Merlin; and Sir Thomas More. The book is bound in the original green cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine and front board. The case of the book is in very good condition with some shelf wear and light soiling on the boards. The spine ends are lightly bumped with a little fraying and damage to the cloth at the bottom of the spine. The contents are tight and clean with browning to the free endpapers. There is no inscription. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # gLitShake04
