| I often think that some of this 'Shakespeare isn't Shakespeare' is just academic snobbery(Shakespeare didn't have tenure, you know); I AM very surprised that Alexander Waugh is peddling this......... If you like the Waugh oeuvre Alexander Waugh(son of Auberon, grandson of Evelyn) wrote an beautiful book FATHERS and SONS(the autobiography of a Family).'''''''''I collect copies oh EW's novels , books about him, (and the Mitford Girls) and if you have like taste--I recently learned that Alexander Waugh will be co-editor of an Oxford university Press, Complete works of Waugh, 44 volumes, priced in the 85-150$ range. I'm saving already........ I greeted this news(about the Waugh project) with the same excitement as if I'd won a contest and the prize was Steve Sondheim and Bernadette Peters coming to my house to cook dinner for me,Gavin Creel and Audra MacDonald That's how excited I am about the Waugh project. .............: but the "HE didn't write his plays" is strictly one for the Bunko squad...............On the back of one of BEN BAGLEY'S album, He summed it up thus, "Literary Scholars have discovered that Shakespeare's plays were NOT written by Shakespeare, but , fortunately for theatergoers. the plays were written by someone just as good. |
