One thought on “Unexpected support

  1. That sounds interesting – I’ve always been a lot more fascinated by why people feel so compelled to attribute Shakespeare’s plays to someone else than by any of the actual theories about alternative attribution. (When I was in college the current Earl of Oxford visited and gave a lecture making the case for his illustrious forbear. I wasn’t overly impressed, although I was probably heavily influenced by the fact that several of my professors were obviously unimpressed.)

    How much detail does Shapiro go into about the collaborations? I’ve read a little Middleton and bit more Shakespeare, and I’d love to see someone try to unpick which parts of their collaborations were by whom. (Possibly a vain endeavor, but I’d still like to see it.)
