Foote publishes Brazil's Angel Day


Robert Brazil's childhood friend and publisher, Jefferson Foote, announced that Brazil's unpublished manuscript, Angel Day, the English Secretary, and the Seventeenth Earl of Oxford, is now available as a paperback from Amazon.

The Amazon.com description of Angel Day, etc. says:
. . . In this volume, Robert Brazil reports his research into the life of Angel Day and The English Secretary's broad influence on Elizabethan writers, including Shakespeare. Day was the English Secretary -- to Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, to whom every edition was dedicated. Brazil shows evidence that the two men worked together to produce the book, Day being the loyal, practical conduit for the erratic co-contributions of an eccentric genius.
Upon learning of Brazil's death in 2010, and with the approval of Brazil's family, Foote undertook to publish Brazil's lifework beginning with Edward DeVere and the Shakespeare Printers that Foote published in 2012 under the name of his Seattle-based research firm, Cortical Output, LLC.

Foote said of the publication of Edward DeVere and the Shakespeare Printers:
Rob's dad . . . was overjoyed to be reminded of the respect and affection accorded Rob within the Oxfordian community. The reception of the Edward de Vere book -- at that time a few hundred copies had been sold -- confirmed for him that Rob had made a contribution to scholarship of lasting value. Hopefully, Angel Day will add to that.
Foote plans to release the Kindle edition of Angel Day, etc. by the second week of December. For more information about the publication of Edward de Vere and the Shakespeare Printers see "Jefferson Foote Publishes Brazil . . ." on the Oberon blog, January 12, 2012.

New Anonymous film trailer posted on YouTube

A second film trailer for Roland Emmerich's film, Anonymous , was posted on YouTube August 5, 2011. Emmerich's historical thriller about the Shakespeare authorship controversy is scheduled for wide-release in the U.S. October 28, 2011. A preview will be screened on Sept. 7, 2011 in downtown Portland, Oregon as part of the Shakespeare Authorship Research Centre 's annual  conference September 6-9, 2011 .  Anonymous will also be featured at the Toronto International Film Festival to be held September 8-18, 2011. Emmerich's film has Stratfordians aflutter, fearing examination of the traditional attribution of Shakespeare's plays may damage the brand. Instead of welcoming interest in Shakespeare's life and times, they are boarding up the windows against a flood of inquiry. The previously taboo topic of Shakespeare authorship is now allowed in the hallowed halls of Stratford-on-Avon so that a rear guard action against apostasy can be mounted. Paul Edmo
