TESTIMONIALS "Gordon intelligently and humanely explicates well over five dozen of the poems, providing the sonnets themselves, thorough and straightforward paraphrases, and concise but never hasty discussions. Sonnets are arranged thematically rather than in their standard 1609 published order, since Gordon believes that they were written at various times and prompted by a variety of circumstances . While [Helen] Vendler's explications of the Sonnets are more thorough and microscopic, Gordon's here are significantly more engaging and alive." -Review by Michael Delahoyde, Rocky Mountain Review of Language and Literature (Fall, 2007)- "Both Jo and I have finished reading your excellent book: "Secret Love Story".. Your explanation of the sonnets is far and away the best interpretation that we have ever seen. I [tend] to be suspicious of [other authors] fitting every sonnet into a tightly structured time frame.. Your interpretation makes such good sense. It was also a compelling read." -From Ian Haste, Oxfordian scholar- "Fascinating reading . . . often more sympathetic to our life experiences and common sense than some interpretations I've seen. An at-times-dizzying new interpretation of the Sonnets and of the Shakespeare conundrum--negating the conventional wisdom that there is nothing new to be said about Shakespeare. Dr. Gordon's close reading of the Sonnets sometimes contrasts with other new theories, sometimes agrees or even augments them....Her explication of the notoriously opaque introduction to the Sonnets compels attention despite our reflexive distrust of ciphers and anagrams.... " -Wenonah Sharpe, Oxfordian Scholar- "I wish I'd had Helen Gordon's book when I was teaching Shakespeare's sonnets to high school students. They would have found the paraphrases extremely helpful and the love story strongly compelling. Her insightful commentaries on the sonnets are both enjoyable and revealing. They certainly cast new light on Shakespeare's sonnets with unusual, refreshing interpretations -- a must-read for all lovers of English literature." -Karen Whicker Ellis, English teacher- "As a long-time admirer of both Shakespeare's and Dr. Gordon's literary work,I was entranced by The Secret Love Story in Shakespeare's Sonnets. I found it hard to put down, as I couldn't wait to discover what was hidden in the next sonnet! Even readers who are not well-versed in Shakespearean literature will enjoy this intriguing, encrypted love story." -Heidi Winn, M.S., Licensed Psychotherapist-

From the Foreword. "TO THE GREAT VARIETY OF READERS" THREE HUNDRED YEARS ago this day, on May the twentieth, sixteen hundred and nine, there was entered on the Stationer's Register "a book called Shakespeare's Sonnettes." To whom these sonnets were written, - whether to one person or to many different persons; why they were written, - whether as expressions of personal feeling or as flights of poetic fancy; in what order they were composed; how the publisher got hold of them, no one knew then, and no one has since discovered. Rut that the book was printed without the author's supervision was plain, and that it was without his permission seemed probable. It could not have been immediately popular, since it was thirty-one years before the issue of a second edition. The publisher's preface to this describes the sonnets as "seren, cleere and elegantly plaine," and for a hundred years this statement passed undisputed. Rut toward the close of the eighteenth century the critics and commentators began to busy themselves, and to torture out of these one hundred and fifty-four poems all manner of hidden meanings, most of them being of little credit to the poet. Fear not, long-suffering Readers, that another "theory" awaits you, to be added to the vast bulk of sonnet discussion. I ask, on this tercentenary of the first announcement of Shakespeare's Sonnets, only the privilege of taking a few of them out of their arbitrary setting by the original publisher and of placing them between the lines of some of the pages that we know of Shakespeare's life. Read them as you would any other poems, according to their simplest and most obvious meaning, and grant thereby that Shakespeare was not only the 'mightiest of poets, but the most devoted and inspired of lovers. May the Twentieth Nineteen Hundred and Nine.

This handbook of English Renaissance literature serves as a reference for both students and scholars, introducing recent debates and developments in early modern studies. Using new theoretical perspectives and methodological tools, the volume offers exemplary close readings of canonical and less well-known texts from all significant genres between c. 1480 and 1660. Its systematic chapters address questions about editing Renaissance texts, the role of translation, theatre and drama, life-writing, science, travel and migration, and women as writers, readers and patrons. The book will be of particular interest to those wishing to expand their knowledge of the early modern period beyond Shakespeare.

The debate over the true author of the Shakespeare canon has raged for centuries. Astonishingly little evidence supports the traditional belief that Will Shakespeare, the actor and businessman from Stratford-upon-Avon, was the author. Legendary figures such as Mark Twain, Walt Whitman and Sigmund Freud have all expressed grave doubts that an uneducated man who apparently owned no books and never left England wrote plays and poems that consistently reflect a learned and well-traveled insider's perspective on royal courts and the ancient feudal nobility. Recent scholarship has turned to Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford-an Elizabethan court playwright known to have written in secret and who had ample means, motive and opportunity to in fact have assumed the "Shakespeare" disguise. "Shakespeare" by Another Name is the literary biography of Edward de Vere as "Shakespeare." This groundbreaking book tells the story of de Vere's action-packed life-as Renaissance man, spendthrift, courtier, wit, student, scoundrel, patron, military adventurer, and, above all, prolific ghostwriter-finding in it the background material for all of The Bard's works. Biographer Mark Anderson incorporates a wealth of new evidence, including de Vere's personal copy of the Bible (in which de Vere underlines scores of passages that are also prominent Shakespearean biblical references).
