Nina Green’s excellent biography of the Earl of Oxford is now on her website at:
http://www.oxford-shakespeare.com/OxfordsBiography/Oxford%27sBiography.pdf
It was developed and revised to update the Wikipedia biography – which may be ‘re-edited’ of course – and takes account of masses of primary source material which it references and which is also to be found on Nina’s website.

Oxford emerges as an incredibly educated and artistic ‘wild man’, highly conflicted and troubled, who was nevertheless taken very seriously by many contemporaries, and who has the kind of maverick life one would expect to find in the author of Shakespeare.

About hewardwilkinson
Heward Wilkinson, BA MA, MSc Psychotherapy, UKCP Registered Integrative Psychotherapist, studied English and Theology at Cambridge, and Religious Studies at Lancaster. Originally a psychiatric nurse, I practices psychotherapy in London, with a special interest in the interface between religion, philosophy, the arts, and psychotherapy. My book The Muse as Therapist: A New Poetic Paradigm for Psychotherapy is published in the Karnac/UKCP Series: http://www.karnacbooks.com/product.php?PID=25803
I am married to Francis. Currently studying for the Metanoia Institute Doctorate by Professional Studies, I am dedicated to promoting a serious pluralistic and deconstructionist position and dialogue, within psychotherapy and the politics of psychotherapy, and had various central roles in UKCP and EAP during the last 20 years, including editing International Journal for Psychotherapy from 1994-2004. I co-founded Scarborough Psychotherapy Training Institute, currently Chair of the Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy Section of UKCP. I run Philosophy Courses relevant to Psychotherapy in both UK and Ireland. My interests include: the interface between art and psychotherapy; between existential and psychoanalytic approaches in psychotherapy; a trans-medical approach to psychosis; conflict resolution; the use of the internet in group therapy and group process. I try to bring jest and humour to serious matters without dismissing their seriousness.
