Biography Looney, J. Thomas: Shakespeare Identified. v1. 10 Feb 2015

[Araucaria]

This is Thomas Looney's seminal work, arguing that the seventeenth Earl of Oxford, Edward de Vere, was the author of most of the works attributed to William Shakespeare.

Looney was the first person to suggest the "Oxfordian" authorship.

Other works - conjecturally dated by Looney to a time after the death of the Earl, in 1604 (Shakespeare died in 1616) - such as The Tempest and Cymbeline, he suggests are not Shakespearean at all.
