The first section consists of reviews of performances of the plays, frequently from the 1978-82 BBC series. Other sections explore possible awareness of Oxford's authorship by Sir Walter Scott and Herman Melville. There are detailed analyses of \u003ci\u003eTwo Gentlemen of Verona\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Winters's Tale\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eCymbeline\u003c\/i\u003e, whose putative hero, Posthumus, is identified with the historical figure Henry VII.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \"Dr. Berney's investigation into \u003ci\u003eThe Spanish Tragedy\u003c\/i\u003e has expanded our knowledge of plays by Oxford that are commonly attributed to others. His inquiries into various plays' allusions to, and characterizations of, real-life people of the Elizabethan era have carried on the pioneering work of E.T.

Who else would have thought to call Sir Walter Scott a 'Paleo-Oxfordian?' Or find in \u003ci\u003eCymbeline\u003c\/i\u003e Shakespeare's 'missing' Henry VII play? Even Stratfordians might crack a grin (or perhaps a grimace) at Berney's sly observation that 'If speculation is outlawed, what happens to the works of Stephen Greenblatt, James Shapiro, and Stanley Wells?'\" --- James Warren, editor, \u003ci\u003eIndex to Oxfordian Publications\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.53 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 10, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53248594116915,"sku":"9780998928913","price":29.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/MkxSjJbrwn9780998928913.webp?v=1776312062","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/shakespeare-confidential-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
