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!

Always so impressed by your scholarship!
VERY good
Thanks, Scotty.
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.
