Is That True? Shakespearean Explorations, Warren Hope, PhD, 210 pages. New. Over a 45 year career, professor and poet Warren Hope produced a scintillating series of scholarly discoveries on the English Renaissance, encompassing Shakespeare, Thomas Nashe, and Philip Sidney, as well as Thomas Watson, John Davies and William, all of whom formed a small coterie of literati in Elizabethan London. Hope taught English at Temple University and the University of the Sciences for 20 years while publishing the definitive edition of Norman Cameron’s poetry (1990) and biography (2021). His own poetry appeared in Adam’s Thoughts in Winter 1970-2000. Is That True? represents Hope’s research on the Shakespeare authorship controversy as it relates to the case for Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, writing under the pseudonym William Shakespeare.

of an expert of the English Renaissance, encompassing 50 years of scholarship
which appeared in numerous peer reviewed journals. This compendium of papers,
essays and book reviews examine the controversial subject of the Shakespeare
authorship question from the perspective of a literary historian, someone
who views the Bard as an integral part of a literary network of poets, playwrights
and novelists.
In addition to “learned and valiant,” one character in Twelfth Night is said to be
“In voices well divulged,” meaning praised by many. The same may be said of
both Shakespeare and Warren Hope, but with the additional subtler meaning that
these latter two express themselves in a number of diverse voices, coming from
single consistent perspectives. We can find this in the collection of Warren Hope’s
writings, published here and covering half a century of original research and
scholarship: articles, reviews, and other writings.
—Michael Delahoyde, Professor of English, Washington State University
Hope brilliantly lays out his literary evidence for concluding that the 17th Earl of
Oxford (Edward de Vere) was the author of the works attributed to William
Shakespeare. The articles in Part I of this collection demonstrate his reasons for
arriving at that conclusion, while his reviews in Part II of books by those who
support the conventional view and by those who support the Oxfordian view, as
well as by those who try to circumvent the authorship question, are incisive.
—Don Ostrowski, History Lecturer and Research Associate, Harvard University
