 Cornwall in the Late 1940s   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
ALFRED LESLIE ROWSE, the son of a china-clay worker in Cornwall, was born in 1903, the youngest of three children, into a home that contained few toys and even fewer books.
Rowse announced just prior to its publication that he had solved the last mystery of the sonnets, namely, the identity of Shakespeare's mistress known as the Dark Lady whom he said was Emilia Bassano, the daughter of an Italian court musician.
Rowse was proud of his Cornish heritage, and in addition to ‘A Cornish Childhood’ he described Cornwall and Cornish culture in such books as ‘Tudor Cornwall’ (1941), ‘The Cousin Jacks’, a study of the Cornish in the United States (1969), 'A Cornishman at Oxford' and ‘A Cornishman Abroad’.

Ollard is a careful biographer and does his best with the early years (when Rowse was an unsuccessful Labour Party candidate in Cornwall, struggling with illness and writing imaginative local history).
But it is only the elderly Rowse who makes any impact: his conviction of his own genius, his cruelty to erstwhile friends, his total self-absorption (his 'strong proclivity to monologue', as Ollard tactfully puts it) and his snobbery.

 Independent, The (London): Felled by the dark lady
Rowse is 92; he thinks (he has lost count) that this will be his 92nd book, roughly.
Rowse says he is going to lend her his edited version of the sonnets: "Sir Penderel Moon, the cleverest man at All Souls, told me he had never understood them until he read my book!"
Before the Dark Lady, Rowse was a minor eccentric Fellow of All Souls, an acclaimed, if perhaps too prolific, historian who also wrote poetry in a manner too traditional, and perhaps too sentimental, to attract the critical attention he thought it deserved.

Rowse's overwhelming confidence in his own scholarship -- and his pointed disdain for anyone who dared criticize his work -- served to make him as isolated in the academic world as he was in politics.
His evaluation of 30 major historians in his last book, "Historians I Have Known," made it clear that, in his opinion, most of them were far less than his peers.
Rowse suffered a stroke last year, but had remained active in his studies.
