It is difficult to imagine that Shakespeare, in 1593 out of nowhere in his 30th year of life wrote his perfect masterpiece opus.1:
"Venus and Adonis".
1589 1593 1594
The work was printed by Richard Field who, years ago, had moved from Stratford to London.
Field had already printed in 1588 for William Cecil "The Copy of a Letter sent out of England to Don Bernardin Mendoza".
A close relationship between Field and Cecil must have existed:" The Arte of English Poesie" (1589) of an obscure anonymous author begins with an impressive dedication (by a certain R.F. - Richard Field?) to William Cecil ...and the Queen. -
Strange to say, for a long time Stratfordian experts tell the world that George Puttenham was the author of "The Arte of English Poesie"
In his 3 volume book (1905) Walter Begley strongly disagreed with this view:
Does anybody really believe that within a short time span an obscure, anonymous author (using the same title-Emblem, the same Printer than the author of "V&L" and "Lucrece", linked to William Cecil) wrote one of the most sophisticated non-fiction book about the "Art of English Poesie" (at the climax of the life of dramatist and poet Shakespeare....) and that no better working hypothesis of the "veritable author" could be discovered?
