Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The Elizabethan Court poet Edward de Vere has, since 1920, lived a notorious second, wholly illegitimate life as the putative author of the poems and plays of William Shakespeare. The work reconstructs Oxfords life, assesses his poetic works, and demonstrates the absurdity of attributing Shakespeares works to him. The first documentary biography of Oxford in over seventy years, Monstrous Adversary seeks to measure the real Oxford against the myth. Impeccably researched and presenting many documents written by Oxford himself, Nelsons book provides a unique insight into Elizabethan society and manners through the eyes of a man whose life was privately scandalous and richly documented.
