SHAKESPEARE BIOGRAPHY NECESSARY MATERIAL

It has become very obvious, going through some of the Oxfordian material, which is voluminous and uneven, that the most important aspects of De Vere's life revolved around the inner circle of Elizabeth's Court and the upper nobility elsewhere in Europe.

In that regard, the most essential work of history and biography regarding Shakespeare and his life and works seems to be Conyers Read's biography of William Cecil, Elizabeth's Principal Secretary, also de Vere's wardship host, and later father in law, during her reign. Other works re Francis Walsingham, etc., are important, but Cecil is necessary to even comprehend the others. It sets in some context the situation of the Reformation struggles and shifting alliances and plots that went on throughout the Courts of Europe at that time. It also sets in context de Vere's personal life as son in law.
