She still believes that men should be no more than 2-10% of the total population.

So how did Will Shakspere familiarize himself with Ovid? The same way any grammar-school boy of the age would: first by reading it at school in the Royally-approved standard texts, and then by re-reading it in the original Latin later on in life, using any of the bazillion copies he could borrow fr...

As opposed to the cautious, tentative proposals made by the open-minded advocates of the Stratford candidacy?

As for "finding some vague references" to the William Shakespeare from Stratford-upon-Avon, I guess they didn't have much work to do, considering there was a funerary monument to him in that place by 1623 (certainly no later than 1656), explicitly describing him as an author. Protip: if you're goin...

welch wrote: given that many of shakespeare's plays were revisions of earlier italian works, the whole thing is kind of silly. Shakespeare, like a lot of playwrights, was in many ways a talented cover artist.

My favorite Shakespeare play is The Tragedie of When The Levee Breakes.

The bottom-line is the non-Shakespeare authorship case has failed for over two hundred years and the Historical Consensus is as absolutely overwhelming for Shakespeare being primary/co-author of the plays credited to him as it is for the Biological Scientist consensus of Evolution. I think the main...

I hate to bring it up, since I know very little on the subject, but everyone does realize that shipwrecks occur all the time, and there are records of them going back thousands of years before either of them lived.

The son of a Midlands glove-maker; who stumbled into an early marriage. By all the laws of social probability he ought to have lived and died in obscurity. Will Shakspere did.

Think about subatomic particles. We couldn't see them, but we could still infer a lot about them based upon other information.

I see the debate over who wrote what when it comes to works of antiquity to be largely pointless.

I would definitely agree with the long-winded - she could use a TL;DR section - but I don't find her particularly incoherent; maybe you get exasperated too quick and run out of patience? Verbosity is itself a form of incoherence, but Zvan is simply too stupid to make sense with any amount of words....

welch wrote:"Stratfordian dogma"

Truly, there is nothing that is not a religious war.

One side says even questioning their "consensus opinion" is streng Verboten. So, pretty much, yeah.

My understanding of why the "Shakespeare didn't write his plays" rebuttal is that his plays share themes, styles and construction which indicates a singular author or single orchestrating mind. There are team-of-authors hypotheses, which I think are garbage. The premise I concur with is that De Ver...

Yeah, I have to object to some of this argument, too. Yes, there are no firm dates, but that doesn't mean that the conjectures are flawed in any way. Scholars date the plays with contemporary references and notes in the Stationers' Register and entries by the Master of the Revels and other records....

Did you actually read that post of Zvan's with anything like an open mind? While I certainly didn't check out all of the details, there still look to be enough to question Grothe's interpretation of the events. Ergo, lying, motivated reasoning, or psychopath. But no, I wasn't comparing the cases th...

Dude, you're coming off like Ken Ham. Here's the deal: A vast amount of work has been done on this, from handwriting, to publication dates during their lives, to contemporary accounts of Shakespeare, to contemporary accounts of WHEN THE PLAYS WERE FIRST ACTED, to other forms of analysis involving w...

Plus it makes not one whit of sense as De Vere wrote his own plays and poetry under his OWN NAME. He had no reason to hide behind a beard. And he really could have used the money. Shakespeare was quite well off while De Vere was a pauper having sold off all his estates because he lived beyond his m...

De Vere, without a doubt. Ugh! He died in 1604 and Shakespeare was still writing. And, even worse for that widely discredited theory, Shakespeare's last three plays were written in collaboration as co-author. Check any standard chrono listing of Shakespeare's plays. For nearly all of them, you'll f...

Itâ€™s ok if we do it? Must be as I didnâ€™t see anyone objecting to those characterizations. In any case, while Iâ€™ll readily concede, did concede, that the evidence for Zvanâ€™s diagnosis is rather thin on the ground, there still seems enough to raise a few questions about Grotheâ€™s honesty and...

WTF? Seriously? We know ridiculously little about Shakespeare himself, let alone his sister. Enough to know that neither he nor his illiterate sister could have possibly written "Shakespeare". Oooh! Are you really an anti-Stratfordian? I am by no means an expert, but I am an enthusiast (and a Strat...
