Some comments from readers of Oxford’s Voices

I am a retired literature professor of English who first learned of the authorship question in 2007/2008 (after having wondered for years why so little was known about the life of William Shakespeare). What a delight it has been to discover your immense learning about the Elizabethan era and the life (lives!) and voices of Edward de Vere. Robert, your work has made me at 81 years of age even more interested in de Vere and the breadth and depth of his learning, to the point where a few years ago I presented in Spanish at Gran Colombia University in Armenia, Colombia a one-hour description and explanation of the importance of the question. Thanks for your monumental contribution to the study of the life of Edward de Vere/Shakespeare.—8/21/24

You make an excellent point about the percentage of “genius” writers appearing in Elizabethan England. The odds that in a country where more than 90% of the population was illiterate that it produced 200 genius writers are so low as to be near zero. This boosts your claim immensely. No wonder your book is gaining traction among Oxfordians. You are also correct in not relying on the royal bastard theories, or ciphers, faked deaths, and other speculative theories currently in the Oxford camp. Using only “pure” text material provides an ample base from which to proceed in any authorship theory. You sell yourself short by stating Oxford was a genius, yet not doing the same for yourself.—8/18/24

I have been devouring your book. I have been fascinated with your honesty and method.—7/13/24

I have already gone through most of the preliminary material and agree with you on nearly all points. The approach you have taken in your book is incredible. I believe it has become more of a community text with the inclusion of new facts and corrections contributed by others. You have made a valuable contribution to Elizabethan/Jacobean studies. I will definitely put a link to your site on my channel. —7/11/24

Have already read most of the first section.  Wonderful and lively reading (and you say there that’s the boring part). Can’t wait to get to the rest. Many thanks again for this amazing treasure.—6/26/24

[YouTube post:] Thank you!! This is just wonderful. I also just purchased Oxford’s Voices, and I am just riveted! Thank you for putting this on YouTube!—5/28/24

[YouTube post:] Robert’s book is amazing. The only headache is losing your place with ~3300 pages.—5/28/24

[YouTube post:] I have had the thought that Prechter’s book could stand on a par with Looney’s. It obviously revolutionizes the study of Shakespeare to identify the true author of the works, but it seems to me that Prechter’s book massively expands the Shakespeare canon. It’s like finding out that say Nabokov or Joyce wrote 24 other novels under another pen name. Researching all the details and interconnections between all these literary works, as a single unified canon, could keep literary scholars busy for a century or more.—5/15/24

[YouTube post:] It’s truly exciting because it means that [de Vere] was hiding in plain sight. Multiple allonyms make the truth more obvious! Prechter’s research brings EVERYTHING full circle. It closes all the loops!—5/13/24

[Email to colleague:] I started listening to Bob Prechter’s stuff on YouTube and I am blown away! I now think Shakespeare isn’t famous ENOUGH!—5/13/24

A towering masterpiece.—4/11/24

I’ve been reading through the fascinating Parnassus plays and the relevant section of OV. This is a major discovery within a tome of major discoveries!—12/18/23

I reread the Robert Greene chapter of OV this morning. It is so brilliant, funny and insightful. I laughed out loud a dozen times. How amazingly humorless were all the biographers of RG and the pamphleteers? How is it they don’t perceive any of Harvey’s, RG’s, Nashe’s and Lodge’s hilarious jabs?—12/6/23

All ties together nicely. Breathtaking work you have done!—12/4/23

Just wanted to say I’m fascinated by your book. I’m looking forward to working through it for years to come!—11/21/23

I salute you! A phenomenal series of books. Perhaps the most important contribution to Oxfordianism since Looney. I find your argument for Nashe entirely logical and compelling. You have my attention.—11/20/23

I watched the YouTube video yesterday where you were interviewed on The Blue Boar. Fascinating. I agree with you (so far as the discussion went) about 90%. My particular interest is that you exclude Spenser and Sidney from Oxford’s Voices.—11/18/23

Congratulations on your ground-breaking work. It has been a real eye-opener reading through it. Your work has sent me on a wonderful voyage of discovery in reading Oxford’s early works.—11/6/23

This is some accomplishment! I remember how thrilled I was when I heard your talk on Robert 

Greene on YouTube. I thought, at last we have a firm course of bricks for the structure of the Authorship. Imagine my surprise when I discovered you have finished the whole house. The further unfolding of the authorship will proceed based on your work.—10/5/23

I’m a relatively new Oxfordian. But I’m familiar with Oxford Voices; I bought it as a Christmas present for my husband in 2021, and it has been keeping him busy ever since. He is enthralled by your tome, and I’ve used it several times to research items. All your work is greatly appreciated.—9/12/23
