Whoever wrote it suffered terribly from the ban on publication imposed on noblemen. The work is a diatribe on this subject that shows great personal feeling and despair. It is not imposible that Lord Oxford may have written some of it.Whatever the truth of the matter (which may never be known) this is a seminal work that should be thoroughly and carefully studied by anyone interested in Elizabethan literature. All scholars should be steeped in it becuase of the many insights it sheds on what life was like for writers at that time. The central thesis is that such a ban did not exist in classical times and there is therefore no reason why the brilliant court writers of 1589 should not be allowed to take credit for their works, many of which are of surpassing excellence. There are many highlights here, such as the biography of the Roman actor Roscius, whom Hamlet refers to. The fact that Roscius was so disfigured that he always had to perform in a mask is made much of, and may shed some light on why Hamlet refers to him while talking with Polonius. This would be an excellent candidate for excerpting for high school text books,as much of it is fascinating and memorable. Don't miss it.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Worthy of your reading By Inkhorn A number of mysteries surround this famous work published in 1589. Not the least of which is who is the author?No authors name appears on the cover, and the publisher professes not to know who the author is. The person's name most associated with the work is George Puttenham, however many people are skeptical of this attribution for good reason.The piece was obviously written by an excellent poet who was also a court insider known to both the Queen and Lord Burleigh.Puttenham had a well known dispute with Burleigh years before, and it seems unlikely he would make Burleigh the subject of a dedication. It also seems unlikely with his criminal record which includes holding a young woman captive for several years that he could ever become a court insider.This book is often quoted by those who question the authorship of prominent writers of the era, and writing under other names. Among those touted as the writer are the Earl of Oxford, who is referred to as the first and foremost person of rank who suffered his written works to be put into print under other names. As he is the most prominently mentioned there is quite a good possibility he might be the author. Other prominent names include Sir Philip Sidney, and George Turberville, and Lord Buckhurst as a young man. No writing appears under the name Philip Sidney until after his death, when he becomes a legend.Another possibility may be Christopher Marlowe whose name is not mentioned but according to the testimony of Thomas Kyd was known to the Queen and it was the Queen who inquired specifically about Marlowe's death and ultimately pardoned his killer on the basis that he acted in self defense. Marlowe is extensively referred to by both Kyd, Greene, Nashe and Harvey. Yet his name never appeared on any publication during his lifetime. His first three plays appeared in 1594 one year after his death.As he knew the queen and he is credited with transforming blank verse into the style later adopted by Shakespeare surely he must have written something for her, and could this be it? There are some parallels between this piece and Marlowe's works.The book is divided into three sections:1. Of Poets and Poesie- the history of poets and poetry and advisers of rulers and the role of poet as a maker of Art.2. Of Proportion Poetical- makes some comparison to mathematics and music and muses3. Of Ornament- A very interesting portion which deals with figures of speech, and gives great examples of different speech patterns by well known writers. It quotes Sidney extensively though his work has yet to appear in print.It is free and if this era interest you, this is one of the more prominent pieces to appear in the era before Shakespeare.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. "Shakespeare's" Guide to Writing By Dr. Richard M. Waugaman This Kindle edition provides us with a much needed opportunity to re-examine the authorship of this important anonymous work of 1589. The Arte is widely recognized as possibly the most important Elizabethan book on literary theory. It is directed at courtiers, advising them not only on writing poetry, but on proper behavior and dress. The conventional theory maintains that George Puttenham (1529-1591) was the book's author. The book's central emphasis is on the art of deception, yet scholars have failed to consider the possibility that the book's author has successfully practiced this art on the readers of his book over the ensuing centuries. We do not in fact know with certainty who wrote this classic, and I suggest that the author was Edward de Vere (1550-1604), who deliberately disguised his authorship of this book by planting false clues that scholars have accepted at face value.Steven May, in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, concluded that Puttenham's claim to authorship is "not indisputable," but that it "trumps that of any other candidate." De Vere's exile from court in the early 1580s is consistent with the observation that "Puttenham's authorial address... bespeaks his complex but abiding sense of disenfranchisement" (56). The sharp ambivalence of the author's attitude toward court is consistent with de Vere's likely bitterness about his recent public humiliation by the Queen. Scholars Whigham and Rebhorn, who edited a more recent edition of this book, note "the author's own (partial and leaky) self-dissembling" (56)--their observation is consistent with an attribution to de Vere.What difference does it make, after all, who wrote the Arte? The same question is often asked of those who doubt the traditional theory of the authorship of Shakespeare's works. It would be of enormous interest if the same person wrote both the Arte and the works of Shakespeare. We are depriving ourselves of significant opportunities for scholarly advances in our understanding of the works of Shakespeare by clinging to crumbling if widely accepted evidence for the legendary author. This evidence erodes considerably if we take seriously the studies of North, Mullan and others on literary anonymity.
