The OXFORDIAN Research Articles Table of Contents 7 Did Edward de Vere Translate Ovid s Metamorphoses? by Richard M. Waugaman, M.D. This philological study of the 1565-67 English translation of Ovid s Metamorphoses examines the widespread use of hendiadys in both the translation and the Shakespeare plays, including exact parallels in each. It demonstrates that de Vere was the actual translator of this ancient masterpiece and not his uncle Arthur Golding, a Puritan whose religious beliefs conflicted with the licentious contents of Ovid s narrative poem. 27 The 17 th Earl of Oxford in Italian Archives: Love s Labours Found by Michael Delahoyde and Coleen Moriarty The authors detail the contents of four historical documents they uncovered about the 17 th Earl of Oxford in the archives of northern Italy during the past three years. Their scholarship enhances the biography of de Vere from contemporary sources, as filtered through the eyes of European diplomats. 49 The Knotty Wrong-Side : Another Spanish Connection to the First Folio by Gabriel Ready The paper examines the ramifications of Ben Jonson s use of a Spanish poetic form known as the decima in his prefatory poem in the First Folio. The form had specific cultural connotations that were suited to Jonson s ambiguous messages in the Folio, for the decima was long used by Spanish poets as a technique to mock its subjects rather than celebrate them. 83 Ben Jonson s Small Latin and Less Greeke : Anatomy of a Misquotation (Part 2) by Roger Stritmatter The second part of Roger Stritmatter s paper examines the tradition which continues to misinterpret Ben Jonson s phrase small Latin and less Greek in the latter s First Folio poem, implying that the Bard had little knowledge of the Greek and Latin languages and literature. Stritmatter reveals its actual meaning to be at odds with centuries of orthodox scholarship based on Jonson s employment of poetic structure and covert methods of communication. 4 The OXFORDIAN Volume 20 2018

Table of Contents 105 The True Story of Edward Webbe And Troublesome Travailes by Connie Beane Connie Beane investigates the authorship of an Elizabethan travel book by a merchant seaman named Edward Webbe which alludes to the Earl of Oxford in Italy, uncovering its literary sources and allusions. She proposes that we consider a more likely author for this literary effort, someone who employed a pseudonym to cover his actual identity: Edward de Vere. 131 J. Thomas Looney in The Bookman s Journal: Five Letters (1920-1921) by James Warren Five letters written by J. Thomas Looney to The Bookman s Journal in Great Britain in the early 1920s, which center on the literary reception of Shakespeare Identified, were re-discovered by James Warren, and are re-published here. The letters, hitherto unknown to scholars, defend the methods which Looney employed in his research and the accuracy of his findings. 157 Geoffrey Fenton A Note by Warren Hope A note by Warren Hope looks at the contemporary connections between Geoffrey Fenton and the 17 th Earl of Oxford s circle in literary, financial and political terms. 159 The Tragedie of Hamlet Prince of Denmarke by Gary Goldstein An article celebrating a fine arts production of Hamlet describes the design achievement of the Cranach Press of Weimar, Germany, which published its edition back in 1930. The article reprints several line illustrations by Gordon Craig from that seminal edition (also featured on the cover). THE OXFORDIAN Volume 20 2018 5
