About this title

Synopsis

This book delves into the intriguing question of William Shakespeare's authorship of the poems Venus and Adonis and the Sonnets. The author meticulously examines the Warwickshire dialect, the language spoken by Shakespeare in his formative years, and compares it to the vocabulary and expressions found in these poems. Through a detailed analysis of dialect forms and literary techniques, the book sheds light on the possible influence of Shakespeare's regional background on his writing. By exploring the relationship between language, environment, and literary production, this book contributes to our understanding of the complex factors that shaped the works of one of the greatest writers in English literature.
