  1. Wherefore Art Thou Shakespeare Scholars?
    I put the Shakespeare Authorship Question right up there with the best of the “Grail Mysteries”. Presently, I’m in the process of reworking a number of essays I wrote ten years ago on eight of the Shakespeare plays and producing a full-length book. Here’s an excerpt from the Preface:

    “The Shakespearean plays contain a stunning breadth and depth of knowledge about English history, European royal history, classical and contemporary literature, and about the complex relationships between the various royal courts of the day. Authorship by the Elizabethan Court is therefore discernible based on content alone, that is, by what the plays revealed and just as importantly, what they threatened to reveal about international royal affairs if the will of Elizabeth was not respected. One of the most significant (and surprising) functions of the plays was to act as a type of “Defense Program” for Queen Elizabeth’s throne against her European rivals. However, the plays also served to instill solidarity in the members of the Elizabethan Court and to inspire the English people as well. The plays accomplished all of this without coming across as overly pedantic. They were not merely great works of literature, but a brilliant expression of Elizabethan foreign and domestic policy!”

    Ashes: This is nothing new, but we will continue not to care and spread our ashes wherever we damn please! Come try to stop me Church! I’m already going to hell for more reasons than I can count.

    Marlowe: I legit celebrated to just reading the headline, and scared the people around me as a result. One step closer to saying he is Shakespeare. *senses hostility from the Francis Bacon group*

    Movie: Jeff Goldblum back then…..damn

    Editors: As a designer, I always end up proofreading for people. I wonder if it was revenge? Is it supposed to read retina? That seems like a massive oversight, ironically.
