HAS THE REAL SHAKESPEARE BEEN OVERLOOKED FOR FOUR CENTURIES? Records of William Shakespeare’s life are at odds with many authorial traits revealed in the Bard’s works, including the author’s specialized knowledge of the law, aristocratic sports, Italian geography and customs, and untranslated Italian, Greek, and French literary works. Even so, the Stratford actor kept the “Shakespeare” title for a century and a half after the authorship debate began, due to the lack of any more plausible authorship scenario. In 2011, Dr. Sabrina Feldman showed in The Apocryphal William Shakespeare that William Shakespeare is the most likely author of the ‘apocryphal’ Shakespeare plays and ‘bad quartos,’ and that members of the Elizabethan literati revered a major hidden court poet, most likely the statesman Thomas Sackville (1536-1608), who was subject to an aristocratic ‘stigma of print.’ In this sequel, Dr. Feldman introduces the case for Sackville as Shakespeare. Sackville’s youthful poetic works paved the way to the flowering of the late Elizabethan drama, and he later became a hidden poet. Despite being long overlooked as an authorship candidate, he had not only the specialized knowledge, unusual interests, habits of mind, personal traits, stylistic traits, and lifespan to be Shakespeare, but also the very high poetic ability.

Review "Feldman is unquestionably convincing as a proponent of the pleasures of exploring the works from a new angle, 'discovering how many lesser known and seldom performed Shakespearean works take on an entirely new interest and meaning from a Sackvillian perspective.' ...gives Stratfordian skeptics a strong new contender for the man behind the works. An enthusiastic and unique assessment of the Shakespeare authorship question that, while still leaving the debate unresolved, may convince even open-minded Stratfordians of the plausibility of its analysis." -Kirkus Reviews

11 of 11 people found the following review helpful. Feldman's second volume is as much fun as her first By D. D. Montee Having greatly enjoyed Ms. Feldman’s first volume of several years ago (The Apocryphal William Shakespeare: Book One of a “Third Way” Shakespeare Authorship Scenario), I eagerly anticipated her Book Two—but not, I confess, without some trepidation. The first volume was chock full of fascinating detail and insight into the Golden Age of Modern English Drama; but once an author—particularly an “anti-Stratfordian”—displays in full view the theoretical axe that they wish to grind, more often than not they begin to lose my full attention and admiration. I’m not a dyed-in-the wool “Stratfordian”—I like to keep as open a mind as I can on the different proposals and perspectives of scholars as they examine the thorny issues of authorship in the Elizabethan/Jacobean plays—but I have to admit that none of the alternate scenarios offered by the advocates of Oxford, Bacon, Marlowe, Mary Sidney, et. al., have persuaded me, however intriguing and fascinating their arguments might prove.That said, I’m pleased to report that Ms. Feldman’s Book Two is as entertaining and informative as her first volume. I think that I’m probably the perfect audience for both her theoretical approach as well as her wonderfully clear and unpretentious writing style: I’ve loved reading, performing in, directing, and publishing about William Shakespeare for decades. The questions, historical gaps, and biographical inconsistencies that nag at the anti-Stratfordians also nag at me; and yet, I certainly can find it within the realm of plausibility that the young country boy named Will Shakespeare could very well have been the natural theatrical genius that the Stratfordians argue for.Ms. Feldman’s ingenious proposal offers a potential bridge between the two camps; and it does so with wonderful research, illuminating insights and a clear and breezy writing style that does not demand years of academic study and prior knowledge to follow. As Eric Sams (whose work Ms. Feldman refers to on occasion in the book) lamented years ago, Shakespearean scholarship and academia is unfortunately too often a closed and exclusive club, rather incestuous, repeating and building upon ideas that should long ago have been largely put to rest. (The so-called “bad quartos” being memorial reconstructions of good texts, to give one such example.) Ms. Feldman’s books disarmingly show the absurdities of many of these accepted ideas, while at the same time pointing us in new directions that more established and recognized Shakespearean scholars might themselves (and should) have directed us toward decades ago—if they hadn’t been so busy reading and re-hashing their colleagues’ books ad infinitum.Sabrina Feldman’s “day job” is at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (impressive enough on its own!); she does her work on Shakespeare out of pure love for the subject—and it shows in these wonderfully entertaining and enlightening books. I highly recommend them both…but read The Apocryphal William Shakespeare: Book One first! Even if you don’t completely accept her hypotheses on the origins of these classics of dramatic literature, you will learn an amazing amount about the plays, their creators, and the age that gave them birth.

The author's earlier book "The Apocryphal William Shakespeare" looks at the often-overlooked works attributed to Shakespeare that were not included in the canon. For me it changedmy thinking about Shakespeare as much as Elaine Pagel's "The Gnostic Gospels" changed my thinkingabout Christianity, and I return to it again and again. Here in Book Two she extends the argumentand makes a compelling case for a new candidate. Despite a wealth of research the book is fun toread- her style is always engaging and often very persuasive. Very highly recommended.

By Rory1959 Dr. Feldman's previous book, about the Shakespeare Apocrypha, was a great read because there was so much to it - review of play after play, poem after poem, evaluation of many more "data points" than any other argument about the Authorship Question that I have seen. This book is the same. As always when looking back 400 years, there's a certain amount of speculation, but that's always clearly stated. Many chapters, though, are startling in the depth of the argument. You'll find that Sackville was familiar with the setting of the play, then that he was familiar with the sources, then with historic events that seem to be alluded (Sackville's dog even makes an appearance), then with the philosophical concepts the play seems to incorporate, then with the subjects Shakespeare chose in creating allegories. When that's all done, there are parallel quotes from Sackville's few extant works to many of Shakespeare's works - so many that you'd think Shakepeare had a Sackville "Quote of the Day" calendar on his writing table. Dr. Feldman's argument covers about 300 pages, but there's so much information on every page that you would think it's many more than that. It's an excellent read for anyone!
