All these responses regarding the article and not one mention that it is actually from January 28, 2026, and NOT from today.

The subject hardcover book has no reviews on Amazon. Also of note, it is published by Pen and Sword World History. (Military History buffs should be familiar with Pen and Sword)

Hudson published a book on the subject in 2014, Shakespeare’s Dark Lady: Amelia Bassano Lanier, The Woman Behind Shakepeare’s Plays?[9][8] Renaissance literature scholar Kate Chedgzoy said in 2010 that “The myth of Aemilia Lanyer as Shakespeare’s Dark Lady both testifies to our continuing cultural investment in a fantasy of a female Shakespeare, and reveals some of the anxieties about difference that haunt canonical Renaissance literature.”[10][11] By 2020, several novels with Lanier as a character had included Hudson’s ideas.[12] David McInnis, professor in English and Theatre Studies, said that “The idea that she was known to all these people and that some elaborate conspiracy of virtually everyone of significance in London in the 17th century would ‘cover-up’ her supposed authorship of Shakespeare’s plays is ridiculous.”[13] Biographer Jonathan Bate said that Lanier’s works have no resemblance to Shakespeare’s.[14]
