An Index to Oxfordian Publications: including Oxfordian books and selected articles from non-Oxfordian periodicals

The Fifth Edition of AN INDEX TO OXFORDIAN PUBLICATIONS is a complete index to more than 12,000 articles, commentaries, reviews, letters, books, pamphlets and audio-visual productions examining the Oxfordian idea – the idea that “Shakespeare’s” works were really written by Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford – published during the 103 years since it was introduced by J. Thomas Looney in “Shakespeare” Identified in 1920. In addition to its author and title indexes, this volume lists the tables of contents for all periodicals issued by Oxfordian and selected other authorship organizations, past and present, as well as listings for more than 3,000 articles published in non-Oxfordian periodicals (such as The Washington Post and The Times Literary Supplement ). It also lists more than 500 non-fiction books of special interest for those investigating the Oxfordian idea, as well as more than 100 works – novels, plays, musicals and so on – inspired by the idea that the provocative Edward de Vere was the real "Shakespeare." “James Warren has supplied an indispensable research tool for the Shakespearean scholar who wants to be apprised of the thousands of articles, many of them of the highest scholarly quality, that have been written over the last hundred years supporting the powerful and historically cumulative case identifying Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, as the real heart and mind behind “Shake-speare.” Whether fully accepting the Oxfordian attribution or not, 21st century scholars need to be aware of the nature of the case, and this book is the best available survey of the landscape.” Roger Stritmatter, Ph.D. Professor of Humanities, Coppin State University, Baltimore
