Description

This volume gathers in one place several highlights from the rich scholarly tradition of post-Stratfordian thinking on the 1623 First Folio. This tradition identifies the Shakespeare First Folio as the key artifact in the concealment of the real author, behind the mask of the Droeshout portrait. Whatever their differences, real or imagined, all these contributors share a common rejection of the Stratford myth. They show, moreover, how impossible it is in the end to reconcile the contents and symbolic design of the Folio with Stratfordian belief. Contents: - What's Past is Prologue, Roger Stritmatter - Branding the Author: Feigned Neutrality and the Folger Folio Tour, Shelly Maycock - Shakespeare's Impossible Doublet, John M. Rollett - "Look Not on this Picture" Ambiguity in the First Folio, Richard Whalen - From Ben Jonson and Shakespeare (1921), Sir George Greenwood - First Folio Fraud, Katherine Chiljan - "Bestow, When and How You List" The de Veres and the 1623 Folio - Roger Stritmatter; Shakespeare's Son on Death Row, William Boyle - Puzzling Shakesperotics, Roger Stritmatter - "Publish We This Peace," Roger Stritmatter - Literary Criticism and the Authorship Question, James A. Warren - Looking Not on His Picture, but His Books, by Michael Dudley.

About the Author

Roger A. Stritmatter, PhD, is Professor of Humanities at Coppin State University. Dr. Stritmatter wrote his doctoral dissertation on parallels between Biblical references in Shakespeare's works and handwritten annotations in the personal Geneva Bible of Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, whom many believe was the actual author of the works published under the pseudonym, "William Shakespeare." His book, "On the Date, Sources and Design of Shakespeare's The Tempest," co-authored with Lynne Kositsky, was published in 2013.
