Wow! This is an extraordinarily fascinating piece of scholarship, and, if its depiction of the times as a period of extreme terror within a flourishing police state created by the Cecils cryptically yet brilliantly resisted by Shakespeare's underlying political wisdom, it not only changes our understanding of Elizabethan England but also offers guidance from the Bard for resistance to the emerging authoritarianism and tyrannies emerging today in the 21st Century right under our eyes. Thank you for such a provocative insight into two of Shakespeare's masterpieces, which I will now read with much greater focus and attentiveness.

I really enjoyed this presentation .

[@rooruffneck]

This was excellent.

[@tracik1277]

Excellent and informative. The rape of England indeed, something similar to how I feel things to be today, we are still Elizabethans after all.

[@MrMartibobs]

Amazing. I have always thought that the line 'and strength by limping sway disabled' in sonnet 66 is a complaint about the aging Queen's impotent reign. Also 'and truest faith, unhappily forsworn' could easily be interpreted as regret at being forced to renounce the old faith.

[@HigherChannel]

Excellent lecture, thank you

Sir Henry Neville was thrown into the Tower, alongside Southampton, for his role in the Essex rebellion.

Makes me wonder if this had anything to do with Oxford (Shakes-peare) , early in his career, being alienated from the court. He ending up broke, miight he himself have helped Essex pay his 5000 pounds to Lord Burghley. The queen paid him 1000 pounds a year, it continued by James I. There is some secrets involving Oxford's youthful connection to court, even after his wardship. It may have to do with Cecil eviscerated Oxford's estate, and Oxford having been one of the oldest families dating back to the Conquerer. Truly, there is something rotten in Denmark.

[@TheLenze]

I understood it was Southampton who owed the 5000 to Burghley. Southampton did manage to keep his estates, so it could have been those that helped pay B

Really, really interesting. Thank you.

Isn't of some particular value to recognize in a legitimate question acceptable principles of reasoning?

[@TheLenze]

at the end she says ‘he suffered for the Tudor cause’ - what? Shouldn’t she have said ‘he suffered for the cause of Essex?

[@bastianconrad2550]

did I understand your answer correctly? Your trip longs for the province of implausibility and unfortunately not for the center of meaningfulness. My Christmas compliments to You BC

Clare Asquith’s far reaching interesting interpretations related to Shakespeares „Venus & Adonis“ , (Op.1 1593) and „Lucrece „(op.2 1594) manifests that she has no affinity whatsoever to a possible Shakespeare authorship problem:. It unfortunately does not exists for her.! But she argues that „Lucrece“ is „not about the rape of a single woman , but about the rape of England , as a "slow motion description" of the Rape of Lucrece, …. the TRUE Shakespeare (Marlowe) portraits in parallel the "slow motion destruction" of the soul of the country .the more I listened, the more I think Claire is right. LUCRECE stands for the authors (Marlowe‘s) misbehavior against the Queen.- See also: Venus and Adonis / Lucrece. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZqan3mhncd3oK8. - And the Authorship Issue :kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGi5loRthKqFZ5Y
