Talk by Professor Leslie Hotson
Professor Hotson's researches have resulted in several important literary discoveries. His work in the Elizabethan period has been especially fruitful, notably in regard to Shakespeare and Marlowe. In this talk Professor Hotson argues that, for the writing of literary history, one fact is worth more than a book of theory; and he comments on the various forms the discovery of new facts may take. As an example, he describes his discovery of the authorship of what he calls ' the most venomous personal libel in England's history '-the Elizabethan Leicester's Commonzvealth.
