Augusts Competition. Identify which of the eight Oxfordians, on the back cover of the current issue of Brief Chronicles, has said the stupidest thing about Shakespeare. To make it harder, we thought we might eliminate the obvious favourite:- We can, instead, detect in early suspected and attributed poems an evolution of Oxford towards “Shake-speare,” and we can see Oxford as a kind of culminating phenomenon in the context of native English lyric poetry: beginning with Chaucer; extending through Oxford’s uncle Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey; and blossoming into not just de Vere’s juvenilia in the Elizabethan anthologies but also in the lyricism of his more famous dramatic works in the Shakespeare canon. but after a quick re-read we decided, nah. Theres enough competition.
