Book Description
This book presents original material which indicates that Aemilia Lanyer – female writer, feminist, and Shakespeare contemporary – is Shakespeare’s hidden and arguably most significant co-author. Once dismissed as the mere paramour of Shakespeare’s patron, Lord Hunsdon, she is demonstrated to be a most articulate forerunner of #MeToo fury. Building on previous research into the authorship of Shakespeare’s works, Bradbeer offers evidence in the form of three case studies which signal Aemilia’s collaboration with Shakespeare. The first case study matches the works of "George Wilkins" – who is currently credited as the co-author of the feminist Shakespeare play Pericles (1608) – with Aemilia Lanyer’s writing style, education, feminism and knowledge of Lord Hunsdon’s secret sexual life. The second case-study recognizes Titus Andronicus (1594), a play containing the characters Aemilius and Bassianus, to be a revision of the suppressed play Titus and Vespasian (1592), as authored by the unmarried pregnant Aemilia Bassano, as she then was. Lastly, it is argued that Shakespeare’s clowns, Bottom, Launce, Malvolio, Dromio, Dogberry, Jaques, and Moth, arise in her deeply personal war with the misogynist Thomas Nashe. Each case study reveals new aspects of Lanyer’s feminist activism and involvement in Shakespeare’s work, and allows for a deeper analysis and appreciation of the plays. This research will prove provocative to students and scholars of Shakespeare studies, English literature, literary history, and gender studies.

Book Description
Excerpt from Willobie His Avisa: With an Essay Towards Its Interpretation In 1880, the late Dr. Grosart, of Blackburn, printed at Manchester an edition of 62 copies, containing the full text of the 1594 edition of ivillobie, with a most valuable critical intro duction. In an appendix he printed The Apologie, shewing the true meaning of lvillobie his Avisa, and the poem The Victory of English Chastity, signed Thomas Willoby, which appeared in the edition of 1596, of which no copy is known, and also in later editions. To this he added a poem Penelope's Complaint, by Peter Colse, from the unique copy in the library of Mr. A. H. Huth. This poem, printed in 1596, contained a dedication and introductory verses, which imply that certain persons had taken Willobie his Avisa as personally offensive. The only other modern edition of our poems except Dr. Grosart's 62 copies, is that published at Manchester in 1896 by the Spenser Society. It consists of about 200 copies, and is a reprint of the edition of 1635, which differs in several unimportant respects from the text of the edition of 1594. I shall always quote from the latter. Dr. Grosart's introduction, in which he acknowledges the previous work done by J. Payne Collier, Sir Walter C. Trevelyan, Dr. Ingleby, and Miss L. Toulmin Smith, is the basis on which I have worked, and I have acquired from his executors the sole right of reprinting his 1880 volume. The full title of the poem is as follows 1 - Willobie his Avisa, or the true Picture of a Modest Maid, and of a chast and constant wife. In Hexamiter verse, the like argument whereof, was never heretofore published. The introduction is supposed to be written by one Hadrian Dorrell, writing from his chamber in Oxford, this first of October. The fact is that the poem was entered in the Registers of Stationer's Hall on September 3rd, 1594, while Shakespeare's Rape of Lucrece had been entered on May 9th of the same year. Hadrian Dorrell tells us that his very good friend and chamber fellow, Mr. Henry Willobie, a young man and a scholler of very good hope, being desirous to see the fashions of other countries for a time, departed voluntarily to her Majesties' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
This standard work, long out of print, discusses every English royal entry, festival, disguising, masque, and tournament, from the accession of Henry VII to the coronation celebrations of Elizabeth I. The study of court festivals, spectacle, and civic pageantry in Renaissance Europe has now developed into a major academic industry, so that the market for authoritative works on these themes extends far beyond the boundaries of conventional scholarly disciplines. Spectacle, Pageantry and Early Tudor Policy was a pioneering work and remains the only comprehensive and analytical treatment of its subject.
