17th Earl of OxfordNew blog post with a new poem.
Sonnet 159: Morbidity
A sonnet about facing the shadow that takes centre stage as one's hour of strutting and fretting nears its end.
The followup to my broadside, as promised.
New blog post: Proof of (Nashe's) Life
The scholars arrive, followed by the Archbishop of Canterbury.

New post: Shakespeare Yes, Thomas Nashe No
I defend the Thomas Nashe I knew from being erased by a meme that's been given way too much airtime. I brought up the artillery for this one.

Old-school tunes today. Never mind that they chopped off the top of my UFH (Ugly French Hat) on the cover image. As if it wasn't bad enough to begin with.

New Post, one of paramount importance (or perhaps not):
De Vere Pudding Update
A question left hanging in my October 2019 pudding post is re-asked, after a recipe I couldn't find then finally came to hand.
Happy Sonnets Day. I had #159 ready to post, but I wrote it when the black dog of melancholy was upon me, and now I think it's a bit too dark for the front page. Some other time perhaps. You can find my other new sonnets by checking the blog's Title Index under S. My old sonnets (melancholic and non) you should be able to find without assistance.
New post: ChAIsing Wild Geese
Tales told by silicon idiots, full of the sound of authority, signifying nothing but a talent for telling tales.

The 4th Duke of Norfolk's execution warrant, the tangent post to 'Commiserating With Mary'. Part of this reads like the Brave Sir Robin song in Holy Grail. A traitor's death at Tyburn was no fun, though in the end Tom was spared that end.

New (long) post: Commiserating With Mary
How fair Henry Wriothesley, 3rd Earl of Southampton, came to be the subject of some of my sonnets. It’s not the story you’ve heard. Plus: Tom Howard’s gruesome 1572 execution warrant, transcribed by yours truly.

New blog post for Boxing Day: The Trivial Box
A box of Shakespeare questions, and a few about Willy. The SBT is behind the box, and I am in front of it, my lance couched for the atteint.
