This may well have been the case with Shakspere.<br /><br />Great interview btw, thanks for that.Liver Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475481221622243711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12206508.post-32999459214242754682012-04-15T08:30:18.643-04:002012-04-15T08:30:18.643-04:00Extremely informative interview. Just one thought ...Extremely informative interview. Just one thought about the hypothesis that Shaksper of Stratford was an illiterate actor. Let's not forget that there's no documentation that "Shakespeare" acted after 1604, the year of de Vere's death. An alternate narrative is that insiders referred to de Vere as "Shakespeare" when he acted at court. It's difficult to imagine the illiterate Shaksper being able to memorize his lines.<br /><br />Some Stratfordians dismiss the Oxfordian narrative by insisting, "The plays were clearly written by an actor who knew theater well." We need to meet that reasoning head on.Richard M.
