Shakespeare, the Earl, and the JesuitThe name of the Jesuit Robert Southwell has now and then been linked with Shakespeare's, but vaguely and tentatively.

This book offers reasons for believing in a relationship among the three men, who were "kinsmen" as their contemporaries understood the term. --From publisher's description. |
