Jacket illustration: Unknown Man Clasping a Hand issuing from a Cloud, a miniature by Nicholas Hilliard. keywords: Shakespeare. FROM THE PUBLISHER-'Whether Mr Hotson has his inspirations in the bath or in the Public Record Office, they are more frequent and more surprising than those of any other scholarly investigator. ' So Frank Kermode wrote in 1960. Actually the source of Leslie Hotson's 'inspirations' is no great mystery. Suspending habitual modern views, he applies a common-sense rule: 'Try to see an Elizabethan word, situation, person, or object as an Elizabethan would see it. ' In Mr. W.H. Dr Hotson gave reason for identifying Nicholas Hilliard's portrait Unknown Youth among Roses as the stripling William Hatcliffe, Boy-Sovereign or Revels-Prince of 'Purpoole' (Gray's Inn), the lovely boy and Sovereign of Shakespeare's Sonnets. An approach hitherto unexplored has now led Dr Hotson both to confirmation of this and to a recognition yet more fascinating. That approach is through Hilliard's other famous portrait-miniature: the Unknown Man Clasping a Hand issuing from a Cloud, 1588. By immersing himself in the Elizabethans' lore of the heroical Device or emblematic picture-and-motto and their related skill in Heraldry, and by ranging through mythology and the writings of the time, Dr Hotson has met with a rich reward. Evidence painted into the Unknown Man Clasping a Hand reveals its subject as the young William Shakespeare-thus giving us at last a living portrait of the poet. It also provides the master-key which unlocks the thought at the heart of the Sonnets. inventory #4768.
