| Hi, What I find absolutely mystifying in the whole Shakespeare/Not Shakespeare affair: how do you explain that a man who wrote THIRTY-SEVEN PLAYS, was one of the most prominent popular writers of his day-- and an ACTOR, so presumably also an outgoing, gregarious type of person with at least a bit of personality, should not have left ANY imprint on the pop culture of his day?? He HAD to have been the FOCAL POINT of the GLOBE THEATER COMMUNITY-- a sort of Steven Spielberg, right? Thirty-seven plays?? Producer/writer (and actor)?? How was this not a widely celebrated and noted figure?? There are no quotes of his brilliant witticisms, no personal anecdotes that were jotted down and survived, nobody kept a letter this noted person wrote?? Assuming William Shakespeare was fronting for the actual primary author (In my view this lies on the possible to probable continuum--theater writing was NO honor, back then) William Shakespeare walked and talked and ran a theater and wrote a produced play every other week-- how was Shakespeare the Actor not a big celebrity whose personal legends have lived on in pamphlet poetry, dedications, stories?? Or if the guy was a complete drip, why didn't they marvel at THAT? (He can write thirty-seven plays and can't speak a correct sentence). The guy was a pop phenomenon and is a GHOST. IT MAKES NO SENSE. |
