Richard Barnfield (1574 – 1620) was an English poet. His obscure though close relationship with William Shakespeare has long made him interesting to scholars. It has been suggested that he was the "rival poet" mentioned in Shakespeare's sonnets.〔(William Shakespeare, Richard Barnfield, and the sixth Earl of Derby ).(Brief article)(Book review)." Reference & Research Book News. Book News Inc. 2010. Accessed via HighBeam Research. 16 Dec. 2013 == Early life == Barnfield was born at Norbury, Staffordshire, where he was baptized on 13 June 1574. He was the son of Richard Barnfield, gentleman, and Mary Skrymsher (1552–1581). In November 1589 Barnfield matriculated at Brasenose College, Oxford, and took his degree in February 1592. He performed the exercise for his masters gown, but seems to have left the university abruptly, without proceeding to the M.A. It is conjectured that he came up to London in 1593, and became acquainted with Watson, Drayton, and perhaps with Edmund Spenser. The death of Sir Philip Sidney had occurred while Barnfield was still a school-boy, but it seems to have strongly affected his imagination and to have inspired some of his earliest verses. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richard Barnfield」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
