Well, there is a lot of scholarship refuting the snobby argument, including the book referenced in the reply. "Will in the World: How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare" covers this too, with lots of analysis of back and forth competitive poetry and passages between Shakespeare and contemporary playwrights like Marlowe, who knew Shakespeare well. Seems odd to imagine that they would also be involved in a coverup.
- yetanotherloser 4y agoThanks for the recommendation, I think it's in my tsundoku somewhere. What I liked about The Lodger was that it doesn't go on about authorship at all, just painstakingly reconstructs a time, a place and a life and leaves a picture convincing enough that it really leaves some speculation looking rather daft.
