11:04 Sidney and a number of other writers used anadiploses (see Astrophil Sonnet 1). Kind of a weak parallel passage. Honestly, the best proof against Oxford is his own poetry. Surely we've lost a lot, but what we have is nearly "un-shakespearean."
MASSIVE assumption. Yes the two pieces (Ignoto poem and Richard III) share a couple of words. Other than that they are very different. The Ignoto poem is stylistically naive - the 'ay me' repetition, for example, is there for padding and to provide a lame rhyme for 'foppery'. Ignoto doesn't seem to have the creative gumption that goes into 'amorous looking-glass'. It's much, much more literal.
Wow that was an excellent presentation, really enjoyed it! Looks like still a lot of research to be done and treasures to be found!

Ground-breaking scholarship which will have a huge impact.
Hundredth Sundry Flowres is 1573, not 1575.
It’s both. The original is 1573, the rewrite to obscure the original, 1575.
VERY good
Thanks, Scotty.
Always so impressed by your scholarship!
