  www.jonathandewbre.com - Cardenio   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Hamilton's Cardenio is certainly not a good play, but this fact does not really prove my argument, and can be discounted by the fact that it was supposedly co-written with John Fletcher and was a later (and lesser) effort by the Bard.
Hamilton first quotes Sir Walter W. Greg, who previously published the play as The Second Maiden's Tragedy: "The manuscript is in the hand of a scribe who was adept with the pen … the text, as we have it, is a fair copy of the author's rough draft" (Cardenio, 127).
Hamilton, as a professional handwriting expert, explains that people who are not well-educated (as Shakespeare is rumored not to have been) rarely vary their signatures, and that "there is no known playwright or poet of the Elizabethan era whose handwriting looks like Shakespeare's" (Cardenio, 144).

These were sold when Hamilton gave up his visits to the continent and in 1931 he had a bungalow called Appletrees built just outside Hawkinge, giving Clyde Cottage to his former housekeeper, Miss Beveridge, on her retirement.
Hamilton doubtlessly blamed the Amalgamated Press for his wartime state of relative poverty, although at the time his only income was their honorarium for the use of Bunter in the Knockout, which they were not bound to pay him.
Charles was telling Frank’s story: he therefore used a third-person narrative, and Frank Richards stepped fully formed into the world; this was probably the most common complaint of reviewers who, noting that Frank Richards had spent over sixty years writing about children for children yet seemed to be without a childhood of his own.

Hamilton claims that his version of Cardenio mirrors parts of A Double Falsehood, and that Theobald indeed had three versions of the play (Cardenio, 236) without raising the question of whether Theobald's claim was accurate.
Hamilton admits to working as a handwriting expert and not a historian, and says that "no professional handwriting expert has even before made an examination of Shakespeare's documents" (Hamilton, 247).
Hamilton argues that the play is product of both Shakespeare and John Fletcher (with whom he wrote the last two plays of his life).

These were sold when Hamilton gave up his visits to the continent – the villa around 1926 and the chalet around 1930 – and in 1931 he had a bungalow called Appletrees built just outside Hawkinge, giving Clyde Cottage to his former housekeeper, Miss Nellie Beveridge, on her retirement.
In September 1939, Charles Hamilton was sixty-three and had been suffering from poor eyesight for over a decade, although this never interrupted the stories that flowed from his typewriter.
And in the interim years between drafts, Hamilton’s attitudes had mellowed – after all, in the early 1940s he was dropped by the Amalgamated Press and left to fend for himself without the characters who had made his name or his living.

 Translations of the Letters of a Hindoo Rajah by Martha F. Bowden   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Reviewed in University of Toronto Quarterly by MARTHA F. Elizabeth Hamilton's witty and ironic novel, first published in 1796, makes no secret of its writer's position on contemporary controversies: it is dedicated to Warren Hastings, presumes throughout the benevolence of British rule, and is utterly opposed to Islam.
Assuming that the Shaster is not only prescriptive but descriptive and therefore an accurate representation (in addition to his other qualities he is marvellously literal-minded), he longs to visit a country where all human beings are equal, the gods are reverenced, women are educated as well as men, and no one is in want.
Hamilton's work makes an interesting addition to the already available novels from the last decade of the eighteenth century, including those by Godwin, Wollstonecraft, Hays, and Inchbald.
