Our colleague in Northeast England, John Casson, is not only a psychodramatist, but also a scholar who has been researching the roots of Shakespeare's work:
Scholar Discovers New Works
by 'Shakespeare'
Dr. John Casson, an independent researcher and psychotherapist, reveals groundbreaking discoveries in a new book: Enter Pursued by a Bear : The Unknown Plays of Shakespeare-Neville.
Following Brenda James's discovery of the true identity of the writer of Shakespeare's works - Sir Henry Neville - John Casson has applied this to apocryphal works with startling results:
a.. Neville's first nom-de-plume (before he used the name 'Shakespeare')
b.. Shakespeare-Neville's first published poem: The Phaeton sonnet
c.. Shakespeare-Neville's first comedy: Mucedorus
d.. Shakespeare-Neville's first tragedies: Locrine and Arden of Faversham
e.. Shakespeare-Neville's first Falstaff: ten years before the Henry IV plays.
John also explores Thomas of Woodstock and A Yorkshire Tragedy, revealing the connections between them and Henry Neville's life and letters. He reclaims the lost play Cardenio in the surviving text of Double Falshood, showing that this is a genuine work by Shakespeare-Neville and John Fletcher. This is a thrilling read as revelation follows revelation: after 400 years we can now see Shakespeare-Neville's artistic development before his early known works. ________
"Having read a deal of 'Enter Pursued by a Bear' I consider it to be a work of first class research and scholarship, full of fascinating indicators all pointing away from the orthodox belief.
Neville emerges as an original and attractive contender, his known life and experience seemingly echoed in the canon. I hope it's a great success."
Sir Derek Jacobi
