Size: Paperback
The first verse English translation of the Book of Job, and a fantasy epic poem about the woeful love between the Woodman and the Bear.
Computational, handwriting, and other types of evidence proves that Josuah Sylvester ghostwrote famous dramas and poetry, including the first "William Shakespeare"-bylined book
Venus and Adonis
(1593), the "Robert Greene"-bylined
Orlando Furioso
(1594) and the two "Mary Sidney"-assigned translations of
Antonie
(1592) and
Clorinda
(1595). Sylvester is also the ghostwriter behind famously puzzling attribution mysteries, such as the authorship of the anonymous "Shakespeare"-apocrypha
Locrine
(1595), and behind controversial productions such as the "Cyril Tourneur"-bylined
Atheist's Tragedy
(1611). All of the famous texts that Sylvester ghostwrote have previously been modernized and annotated. In contrast, most of Sylvester's many volumes of self-attributed works have remained unmodernized and thus inaccessible to modern scholars. This neglect is unwarranted since under his own name, Sylvester served as the Poet Laureate between 1606-12 under James I's eldest son, Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales. This volume addresses this scholarly gap by translating two works that capture Sylvester's central authorial tendencies.
