dbo:abstract
  • John Thomas Looney (luni) (14 August 1870 – 17 January 1944) was an English school teacher who is notable for having originated the Oxfordian theory, which claims that Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford (1550–1604) was the true author of Shakespeare's plays. Looney came from a Methodist religious background, but later converted to the rationalistic Religion of Humanity, becoming a leader of its church in Tyneside. After the failure of the local church, Looney turned to the Shakespeare authorship question, publishing in 1920 his theory that de Vere was the author of most of the poems and plays published in Shakespeare's name. He later argued that de Vere had also written works published under the names of other poets. (en)

  • John Thomas Looney, född 14 augusti 1870 i South Shields, död 17 januari 1944, var en brittisk lärare. Han anses vara upphovsman till teorin om att William Shakespeare inte själv skrivit pjäserna som tillskrivs honom. År 1920 publicerade Looney ett stort arbete vid namn . Mot förläggarens rekommendation underlät Looney att använda pseudonym och framförde att den riktige författaren till pjäserna var Edward de Vere, 17:e earl av Oxford, som passade in i Looneys slutledningar att "Shakespeare" var adelsman med sympatier för Huset Lancaster och som gillade Italien och lutade åt katolicism. Looneys bok påbörjade en våg av spekulationer med efterföljare ända till idag. Sigmund Freud läste boken 1923 och blev genast övertygad. Vid slutet av sitt liv upprepar han sin åsikt i den slutliga versionen av Abriss der Psychoanalyse (1938). (sv)
