After wealthy businessman Harry Elkins Widener died on the Titanic, his mother gave Harvard his book collection. Then “The Countess of Pembroke’s Arcadia” came under scrutiny.
It does, the librarian told her — but that copy of “The Countess of Pembroke’s Arcadia” was a famous forgery.
. Some historians believe that one of her translations, “The Tragedie of Antonie,” inspired Shakespeare’s “Antony & Cleopatra.”“Sidney and Shakespeare undoubtedly knew of each other,” Braganza said, though there’s no known record of whether the two met.Sidney’s brother penned “Arcadia” as a collection of witty and amusing stories in poetry and prose for his beloved sister. She published the book in 1593, seven years after Philip’s death.
A “dangerous example” of remboitage, he wrote in the paper he presented, “is that of an edition of Sidney’s Arcadia in Harvard Library, a copy of which purports to have belonged to Sidney’s sister, Mary Herbert, and which is now in a binding bearing appropriate symbolic stamps.” With that evidence in hand, Braganza began to take a closer look at the interior pages, which Jackson had overlooked. There, she noticed intriguing marginal notes and what appeared to be edits for future editions. When she compared that writing to examples of Sidney’s, Braganza let out a whoop.
