…I’m unsure as to whom the first term belongs, maybe John Barton’s of RSC fame? But it holds Elizabethan and Jacobean together concisely. Jacobethan. Sounds too late to be early and too early to be late. Consensus is a slippery word and despite others opinions, i’m down with it. Now if only this meant something. […] Establishing shot: terrace outside het ballonnetje on the Roeterstraat, Amsterdam. Man at a round wooden table, sitting on a long wooden bench, typing on a black mac laptop. Sparks fly from an overhead wire as a tram goes by. Zoom in on fingers typing… The Authorship discussion revolves around this topic: Aristos vs Demos. Unless […] I doubt it. Here’s a contemporary of Shakespeare whose opinion is never heard because his comments were printed some 27 years after Shakespeare’s death. His name is Sir Richard Baker. Cut to a First Folio Facsimile ix pages into the introduction: ‘In his Chronicle of the Kings of England, Baker treats in turn the reign […] …or rather the works that Shakespeare himself would have read and been affected by (choose your candidate, it’s irrelevant to this argument). One of these books is George Puttenham’s The Arte of English Poesie. Now Sh must have read this treatise, published in 1589, as this is the basis of his art and artifice, both […] …his writings on Poetics to be exact.

Do you believe that Shakespeare of Stratford wrote Shakespeare? the […] …i’m condensing this stuff coz it’s brilliant scholarship of its day, and says what i’d like to say. I’ve augmented it with the odd comma for emphasis, spaced it into to smaller readable chunks, and condensed the essence without the distracting examples. Therefore if you is a scholar, identify the authors’ Plays or WORKS, as […] The creators duty is to the story. So let it be with Shakespeare. His first duty as creator is to the story. So whats the story with his Sonnets? The facts are we have a quarto of Sonnets and A Lovers Complaint, which some now claim may not even be his. It is agreed, a […] …thinking about the authorship question. How did Oxford ever buy the silence of his shill William Shakspeare? For that same matter how did Marlowe or Bacon? These three candidates were all broke for most of their lives. Did Oxenforde give his 1,000 pond annuity he got from his sister mother father Eliza to SHaksper […] Looking for local Shakespeare: by which I mean the circumstances of the man who wrote these works. Some of you may be rubbing their hands in expectation I will choose your candidate and not the boring old Stratford man. Sorry to disappoint you here in the first of woes. Some of you will be […] |
