Vol I — "Shakespeare" Identified . . . . Looney’s original 1920/1948 texts, with 200 pages of annotations, chronological summary and appendix, "Sources of the Tempest" and Looney’s Poems of Edward de Vere. "The best detective story I have ever read."  --  John Galsworthy, 1920 "The Earl of Oxford was more likely to have written the famous plays than the uneducated son of a Stratford bourgeois." -- Sigmund Freud, 1930, in a letter accepting the Goethe prize.

Vol II — Oxfordian Vistas The results of fifty-five years [1920-1975] exploration of Bjorkman’s "promising vistas" by independent researchers on two continents are collected, collated and correlated in 600 pages by Ms Miller, confirming and corroborating Looney’s identification of the man behind the name "Shake-speare."

THE INDEX for the 2-volume set is a "magnificent piece of scholarship in its own right," a reader’s guide and teacher’s aid in placing and identifying the persons of the Elizabethan era.

Looney, like Emerson, Mark Twain, Henry James, and Freud, could not "marry" the bio-graphical facts of "Will Shaksper, Gent." to the autobiographical aspects of the author as revealed in Shakespeare’s works. Looney set out to solve the greatest of literary problems. His quest led to the half-obliterated footprints of Queen Elizabeth’s brilliant, dashing, exuberant, irrepressible, and impetuous, Lord Great Chamberlain, ranking peer of the realm, Edward de Vere, Seventeenth Earl of Oxford.
