All rubbish, read a writer like Jonathan Bate who has done the research and who makes clear why the plays were written by someone with the knowledge and background of a grammar school boy from the midlands (even relating how plants m his home county make frequent appearances in his writing). It’s just snobs who persist in the belief that a non-university or non-aristocratic person could not have had such talent whilst the rest of us now realise that class or education are not what makes genius.
Once you accept that, there are still intriguing possibilities, Shakespeare’s proximity to a hive of catholicism (including in his own family) being one. Does his humanity and understanding of the human condition come from a knowledge of persecution? |
