Description

Henry Wriothesley, 3rd Earl of Southampton (1573–1624) is widely regarded as the subject of Shakespeare's sonnets, and the two narrative poems Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece are both dedicated to him. Originally published in 1922, this book used the limited available material concerning Southampton to provide a biographical account of his life and connections with Shakespeare.

The text was written by Charlotte Carmichael Stopes (1840–1929), a renowned Shakespearean scholar, literary critic and campaigner for women's rights.

Illustrative figures and addenda are also contained.

This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the life of Southampton, Shakespeare and literary criticism.
