General note: Includes index. Bibliography, etc. note: Bibliography: p. 307-324. Summary, etc: 'Shakespeare's Sonnets' (1609) included a poem called 'A Lover's Complaint' of questionable authenticity. In this study of the poem, Vickers shows that it has many un-Shakespearian features. Using detailed analysis, Vickers attributes the poem to John Davies of Hereford, a famous writing-master and prolific poet.
