A scholar of British history, the Elizabethan era, and Shakespeare, A.L. Rowse was one of the most prolific figures in the field of British literature. Rowse's work covers a huge body of subjects: Shakespeare's life, plays, and solutions to his sonnets; the work of Christopher Marlowe, the rival poet; politics of the 20th century; leading international literary and political figures; and Rowse's own poems. Sydney Cauveren does not restrict himself to the standard scholarly bibliography. He instead creates a literary/biographical bibliography with accounts of Rowse's life and some revealing discoveries that Rowse made over the course of his work. The book is full of facts on subjects as diverse as the real identity of Shakespeare's "Dark Lady;" the Elizabethan Age, or even American landscape poetry written by a British poet. Cauveren worked on this bibliography over five years and corresponded with A.L. Rowse for over twenty years. Users benefit from personal insight blended with scholarly research. This text is a must-have for libraries, useful for a wide range of scholars, especially researchers in British history, Shakespeare, the Elizabethan era, and British literature. The bibliographic entries reference works by Rowse including books, pamphlets, articles, and anthologies Rowse edited. Entries dealing with interviews, news reports, and references in books by contemporaries are also included. Thoroughly indexed and reader-friendly.
