JOHN FLORIO & HENRY WRIOTHESLEY: A COLLABORATION? | PART II

Who first discovered that Henry Wriothesley was John Florio’s patron? The Answer is: A Shakespeare’s scholar.
Charlotte Carmichael Stopes was a British scholar, author, and campaigner for women's rights. Her most successful publication was British Freewomen: Their Historical Privilege (published 1894), a book which influenced and inspired the early twentieth century British women's suffrage movement. She wrote several books relating to the life and work of  Shakespeare. And she published the very first biography of Henry Wriothesley in 1922: The life of Henry, third earl of Southampton. Shakespeare's patron.
In the preface of her book, Stopes pointed out that she began a research into the life of Henry Wriothesley in attempt to find traces of Shakespeare. Sadly, she found nothing.
But she found John Florio!
