Synopsis
Excerpt from Mistress Davenant, the Dark Lady of Shakespeare's Sonnets
While I defer publication of the results of my investiga tions of the plays made from a personal point of View, and also of my complete rearrangement Of the Sonnets into their original books, for the guidance of the reader in following the present argument, I Shall in this preface give a brief chronological outline of my fuller theory, without advancing detailed evidence in its support. This, for the present, the reader may, if he wishes, regard merely as a working hypothesis. Whether he does so or not in the light of the evidence I adduce regarding Shakespeare's connection with the Ear.
