Shakespeare, 'A Lover's Complaint', and John Davies of Hereford

Shakespeare's Sonnets (1609) included a poem called A Lover's Complaint, of questionable authenticity. This text, the first full study of this poem, shows that it has many un-Shakespearian features. Using detailed analysis Vickers attributes the poem to John Davies of Hereford (1565-1618). An important work which will re-define the Shakespeare canon.
