Brothers and Sisters of The Shakespeare Code…..
It is more in sorrow than in anger that Your Cat reports ANOTHER piece of nonsense from the Guardian……
…..endorsed by Stanley Wells…..
…..an academic…..
…..which argues that the ‘Mr. W. H.’ of the dedication to the Sonnets……
…….is NOT Henry Wriothesley, the Third Earl of Southampton….
http://www.theguardian.com/culture/2015/jan/31/shakespeare-sonnets-mr-wh-dedication-mystery
See:‘Willobie his Avisa Decoded. Aemilia Lanyer is the secret Author.’
Mr. W. H
…….is INTENDED to be an insult to Southampton as Shakespeare had fallen out with his patron – and lover – see Sonnet 126……
Also see: ‘The Background to King Lear. Part Two’.
We also know from Thomas Heywood that Shakespeare supervised the publication of his Sonnets…..
…….to do himself right……
He also promised…….
…….eternity……
……..to the subject of the Sonnets in the conclusion to Sonnet 18:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
Shakespeare also wishes…….
All Happiness….
…..to Henry Wriothesley directly in his dedication to ‘Lucrece’.
Why not read Your Cat’s original article?
