What an amazing mystery to be solved by some of the worlds leading investigative historians trying to link Lord Brooke,Fulke Greville to William Shakespeare. I recently met his 8th Great grandson a Christopher Brooke Fulke Greville who is a Medieval Historian,and he recognises that there is a strong link between his ancestor Lord Brooke,Fulke Greville and William Shakespeare and would be happy to show various old documents to anyone investigating this mystery.

Interesting supposition. Sounds like a novel pursuit.

Intentional pun.

Was Shakespeare really Fulke Greville

No.

One of the most popular subjects in English Literature studies is: Who really wrote Shakespeare’s plays?

There are multiple candidates, all of whom have their learned and rabid adherents.

Great fun to read and compare, but this is a controversy that is not likely to be solved.

Thank you for the post and welcome. These kind of articles are one of the reasons I stay here. There will be some gatekeepers who want you banned (IBTZ), but I think the moderators will see through them and allow the thread to stand.

[FulkeGreville]

Greville is a great, and difficult poet — and Thom Gunn’s edition of his poetry has recently been reissued by U of Chicago Press, ISBN 0-226-30846-4.

Best one-stop criticism on just about everything officially attributed to Greville:

The Sidney Journal Vol. 19 issues 1-2, Special Double Issue on Fulke Greville ($14): http://www.sidneyjournal.org/content/purchase

Best biography is:

Rebholz, R. A. The Life of Fulke Greville, First Lord Brooke (1971)

Two others:

Rees, Joan. Fulke Greville, Lord Brooke, 1554-1628: A Critical Biography (1971)

Larson, Charles Howard. Fulke Greville (1980)

On Greville’s poetry (especially lyrics), the best book is:

Waswo, Richard. The Fatal Mirror; Themes and Techniques in the Poetry of Fulke Greville (1972)

Nice web compilation of poetry, mini-bio, and criticism can be found in the Luminarium: http://www.luminarium.org/renlit/fulkebio.htm
