In this respect women and aristocrats shared a common burden, namely that the arts were too trifling (in the case of aristocrats) and too august (in the case of women), and discoveries of creative output in either case usually resulted in floggings.<BR/><BR/>This form of discrimination was thus held in common by Edward deVere, Earl of Oxford, and Hermione van der Goes, and in fact they had an affair and lay about loudly proclaiming that she was really Hugo and he was really Will Shakespeare. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately the Great Fire of London destroyed almost all records of this alliance.nigel fowlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13850652453272366130noreply@blogger.com
