Earl of Oxford, Whose Pen Name Was William Shakespeare, author Paul

Altrocchi dramatically depicts de Vere's colorful life, offering new and

exciting perspectives into the raging authorship controversy.

emergence: Queen Elizabeth, Lord Treasurer William Cecil, and

previously little-known Edward de Vere who was coerced to write under an

assumed name.
