Wriothesley's Roses in Shakespeare's Sonnets, Poems, and Plays

A discovery of immense significance to Shakespeare studies -- evidence conclusively establishing that Henry Wriothesley, third Earl of Southampton, was the youth addressed in Shakespeare's Sonnets -- explains much of the imagery in VENUS & ADONIS, LUCRECE, & Shakespeare's early plays, & by locating Shakespeare in the learned & sexually ambiguous circle surrounding the Earl of Essex, solves most of the mysteries of Shakespeare's life & achievement.
