(550) Autobiographical of the "true" Shakespeare (exemplified on "The Winters Tale")
No rational man can doubt, that in the vast cosmos of Shakespeare's plays compiled for the
first time in the First Folio in 1623 there are hidden autobiographical contents and
details of the "true" Shakespeare's personal life.
The reason, why virtually no clear autobiografical connections have been found, is related to the fact, that the "true" dramatist of the First Folio plays is not identical to William Shakspere from Stratford, it was: Christopher Marlowe, the only true poet-genius of his time, hiding behind a multiplicity of pseudonyms such as Shakespeare...(...Barnfield, Chapman, Davies and others.

(548) A convincing Sherlock Holmes for the Shakeskespeare problem ?
Michael Dunns Speech related to the Shakespeare Authorship Problem.
What a shame!- When it comes to Marlowe, Michael Dunn loses
his righteous reserve and ridicules the „highly educated“ poet with his
„brilliant mind“: stating : it leaves us in „Elvis-lives-Category“ with a need
of greater proofs. –
He speaks of an „interesting [Marlowe] theory not so
far-fetched as it might seem“ but „Marlowe was killed at the age of 29 when
many of the Shakespeare plays were not yet written.“ Didn’t he know that no
Shakespeare play was written when Marlowe disappeared in 1593?
Dunn loses himself in
the weaknesses of the Oxford Theory (its good parts are in common with that of Marlowe) , since from the beginning he seems to have
overlooked the superiority of the Marlowe theory.
Is Michael Dunn really a
convincing Sherlock Holmes?

WOOD: (2:13 min) " I am fairly brusque with the Shakespeare deniers, its a load of rubbish - to be honest- . There is a couple of things, it raises interesting questions; The key thing is - you know- that it is about what historians do and this debate like all other debates in history is something historians decide and its about sources, and historians construct their images of the past by sources and you start with the primary sources that first hand that eywitnesses the documents that close up, you move out to the others depending on what you have got , and if you are going to deny that Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare, you deny the primary sources like the Will,
so it is rubbish ...and nobody of the time thought that and for long after thought that anybody else but Shakespeare wrote Shakspeare, (Thats devious! " see B-Wildenthals claim - video below!)
it 's 19th century fantasy, and unfortunately it's a conspiracy theory - you know- you have got to look to the recent American election there is still a lot of people to think the moon landing didn't happen, but it is as bonkers as that, behind it lies a kind of ignorance, and the ignorance is about Tudors Society ....So it is nonsense on a total level,..."

(539) Ros Barbers logical fallacies on Shakespeare Authorship Mystery Day.
Is she aware of the problem of "negative circular reasoning"?
On Nov, 8th 2018 the Second Annual Shakespeare Authorship Mystery Day celebration took place with a live stream introduction by former Marlowian Ros Barber.
Click here
https://www.facebook.com/96412830317/videos/1580359555442975/
I suspect that Barber has not even noticed which logical error of thinking she accomplished. Let me explain this with a single example:
Barber: (at min 29:50)"..... shortly after 1594....the name, either the initials W.S. or name Shakespeare started appearing on plays that actually are not his, that we know aren't his. So there were 7 plays that are part of the Shakespeare Apocrypha which means that they were at one point attributed to Shakespeare, we now know for sure they were not written by Shakespeare and its very interesting to me that these plays some of which are performed by that company end up beeing published with name or initials of William Shakespeare...it backs up the broker theory
How - on earth - can Ros Barber assert that the "London Prodigal" or "The Yorkshire Tragedy" was not written by Shakespeare... Barber has not even defined if she mean William from Stratford or the concealed "true Shakespeare" who must have used the name "Shakespeare" as a pseudonym or pen-name, her own live stream is arguing for. This is classical "negative circular reasoning". What a pity.

(537) The fantastic monstrous imaginations of Alexander Waugh
Very impressive castles in the air !
Alexander Waugh is a leading advocate of the Oxfordian theory, the belief that Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford wrote the works of William Shakespeare. He is a life member of the De Vere Society, [4] and serves as the Honorary President of the Shakespeare Authorship Coalition.[5]
For quite some time he has been running a YouTube channel where he claims to have found surreptitious allusions embedded in 16th- and 17th-century works revealing that the name "William Shakespeare" was a pseudonym ("I think, this is correct!) , used by Edward de Vere to write the Shakespeare oeuvre.("I think this is incorrect!"!)
Unfortunately he does not allow comments on his Youtube channel since he doesn't intend ( as he wrote) to spend the rest of his life replying and arguing with impudent trolls. Difficult to understand. It wouldn't be difficult to erase the trolls (within seconds) and keep the reasonable letters and arguments.That's managable. Perhaps there are other reasons: all his articles ask for contradiction. Lately he made again an interesting contribution about the hidden secrets in Francis Meres "Palladis Tamia"1598) a key witness for the Shakespeare authorship debate.
 |
| Definition of Chimera (1621) by the "true" Shake-speare alias Josuah Sylvester |
Is Waugh even remotely sure who Francis Meres really was. I wonder what kind of idea he has of how the brain works.-
Does he really believe that a single dubious but congenial
Francis M. put such an obscure highly complex inner construction (a fantasic chimera) on paper whose strange logic 400 years later a single similar congenial Alexander W. is (accidentally?) able to decipher? Does he really
believe that Meres brain had a mechanism or a deep need to conceal an unidentifiable truth in
such a weird way?
I assume that "Alexander Waugh" would be able to convince us that it is not accidental that in his 15 letter name unrecognized hidden meanings are concealed (to name a few -to be found in any anagram generator )

The "Passionate Pilgrime" has been written by a single author, the true poet and dramatist genius Marlowe alias William Shake-speare, alias Griffin, alias Barnfield, alias Deloney, alias Heywood)
.... as inconceivable it may sound !
______________
There are serious reasons to argue that in 1599 the "Passionate Pilgrime" has been written by a single author, the true poet and dramatist genius Christopher Marlowe who signed under one of his various pseudonyms: W.Shakespeare.
There was no need for Marlowe to reveal the contributions of others of his pennames used previously. Some brief reflections on those poems of allegedly other poets (Griffin, Barnfield, Deloney, Heywood) disclose a common contextual autobiographical background of the poems as well as the reason why “Shakespeare Academe” for lack of acceptance of a historical authorship problem is not yet ready even to begin to resolve the excess of Shakespeare inconsistencies.

I am an old retired Professor for Neuroscience from Munich and wrote a german book (after 10 years of reading and studies) on the Marlowe/Shakespeare Authorship thesis . Unfortunately I couldn’t find an english Publisher, since I was regarded (up to now) as a conspiracy ideologist. At least, I lately fabricated a short english Summary of the book. (Video youtube)
With great interest I read your contribution on „banishment as a romance“ on the website „Before Shakespeare“ . I suppose it‘s a base of your upcoming PhD „Bodies of Law: Banishment, Marriage, and Sovereign Power in Shakespeare’s Plays“.
Is the Marlowe/Shakespeare authorship thesis (also to the younger genration) a total nonsense?

(523)Why Marlowe would choose to use so many aliases, why not just stick with 'William Shakespeare' ?
An attempt to give a short answer to a significant question, most often asked....
There are compelling reasons to assume that long before Marlowes alleged death in 1593 , from probably the very early beginnings of his writings, he must have been accustomed and was thus early prepared to write under false names, i.e. anonymously, pseudonymously, or with unidentifiable initials, under a state of disguised identity-. He must have wished ( and was forced) to remain and write anonymously for various reason, not the least because of his (too) liberal or radical or progressive thoughts in matters of religion, social issues, ethics as well as because of his critics on public figures , opinions , books etc. ... He was light years ahead of his time...
To Marlowes early pseudo- or pennames, prior to his official death, one can safely count George Wither (e.g. An ABC for Laymen 1585/ 1588) ,
Nicholas Breton,
William Gager (Meleager),
William Basse ,
George Puttenham ("The Arte of Poesie" ) and others. -
Otherwise, it is literally impossible to explain why not a single literary work of Marlowe/Shakespeare was printed prior to his demise/or Shakespeare's rise in 1593, in Marlowes/Shakespeares 30th year of life (one exception: anonymous Tamburlaine 1590).
It is unthinkable and can literally be ruled out, that Marlowe/Shakespeare (of the same age!) between 1573 and 1593 have not spoken literally in many ways in their early most creative phase of life. -
Consider that average life expectancy was not even 50 at that time., ......it seems virtually impossible that the literary prolific creativity of the true Shakespeare genius within his first 30 years of life was zero , and consisted of no diversity of printed literary genres at all (.See YouTube contribution - ref
Probably most people have not the slightest ideas of the dimensions, the earliness and immensity of Marlowes/ Shakespeares knowledge, of his power of comprehension, of his memory capacities, of his unimaginable speed of writing and thinking productivity, his dialogic language abilities or his elocutionary language skills, etc. , i.e. his overwhelmig creativity....
.....similar to a Musical Genius like Mozart, who wrote his first Piano Concert at the Age of 12. - KV37 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xFmod_Aazf0 and composed the Great symphony 36 (kv425) on transit within a prolonged weekend 1783 in the austrian City of Linz, when he and his wife had to interrupt their traveling between Salzburg and Vienna because of bad wether... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t7dWkI9H9fw
My own experience with such types of Genius is the pianist Kit Armstrong whom I learnt to know, years ago who speaks 8 languages fluently, who wrote his mathematical dissertation at the age of 14 who is a fine composer and highranking world pianist . I asked him in a conversation if he was familiar with a fugue composed by Chopin..Since he was not, I showed him the score on an iPad , he memorized the page for a minute and went to the piano and played the piece by heart at Concert Level. ...unimaginable...
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2-KIwpJPPzs
------------
At the Elisabethan age crimes that threatened the social order were considered extremely dangerous offenses. They included not only heresy, but also treason, ( "Marlowes Dutch Libels.) which challenged the legitimate government and crown.. Those convicted of these crimes (or threatened such as Marlowe...he was advised and supported by Cecil to disappear by feigning his death) since by the law they had to expect the harshest punishment. Execution methods for the most serious crimes were designed to be as gruesome as possible....
Anonymity was necessary in those times, but not easy to achieve and often fraught with. It required "unlinkability", such that an attacker's examination of the pseudonym holder's message provided no information about the holder's true name or location.
It was by no means primarily the literary anonymity of Marlowe as a poet, under which he suffered from, (he very early on was accustomed to it) but from his total banishment from society, from court and nobility ( since June 1593) and from his permanent and complete loss of reputation and identity, from his social isolation, his living in obscurity ....His formal extinction meant that he could never hope for a pardon under an earlier identity. He felt bound by his oath to William Cecil (See Hamlet Ghost Scene) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cWWyZaUKPmw
His "crime" (treason , rebellion , sedition ) was atoned for by his formal death .... It was rather his reputation murder.....the absolute necessity to exist and remain incognito in seclusion....he was never to be recognized under any circumstances,
There is virtually no evidence that anyone during his lifetime knew of a poet Shakspere (Stratford), or of the fact that the Stratford person was the poet of Hamlet, Romeo & Julia, or King Lear ...The idea of a fusion ( conflation?) of Shakspere and Shakespeare was explicitly invented or created for posterity,a construction of (for) his poetic aftermath ...
The ingenious trick of hiding behind the name of a single living (paid) person (such as Shakspere/Stratford) or deceased persons or invented names (e.g. John Overbury...Michael Drayton George Chap,manetc.) would have had the consequence,( as soon as somebody started looking for a singular person) of detecting the living person sooner or later....this could only or best be prevented by a multiplicity of pseudonyms, but also by various other ( also ingenious) tricks of multi-pseudonymities, e.g. by double names ( Sir John Davies, or , John Davies of Hereford --- or John Fletcher or Phineas Fletcher), by double authors Beaumont&Fletcher...and so on....
Consider, that half of Shakespeares plays (18) were printed only after his death,and not known before... of the other half 50% were printed anonymously thus only a quarter known under shakepeare / shake-speare....
This fact alone indicates the necessity that the recognizability of his person was prevented and had to be prevented by all circumstances!
If all 36 pieces of the First Folio and many more ( attributed to other fictious poets) had been printed under the name of William Shakespeare, there could or would soon have been a growing interest in getting a hunt for this person .... Under no circumstances could that happen ....It would have revealed the plot, the real conspiracy,....( Stay aware: its not a conspiratory theory...)
Marlowe was considered to be dead, to be extinguished, and precisely at the time of his death (1593) a dramatist mockup Shakspere was created as a new poetical implemention....
There are several impressive literary sources, that later on Marlowe/Shakespeare, after his "Invention" to create a "living pseudonym Shake-speare", was very dissatisfied with that invention ( e.g.Typographie s.argument 24, Drayton
https://youtu.be/57LKIFQTkFo?t=8295
And there is another quite different chain of (backward) reasoning or argumentation to answer the variations of the basic question....
1 Why Marlowe would choose to use so many aliases?
2 Why not just stick with 'William Shakespeare' ?
(The sheer number of alleged aliases is unlikely -)
3 Why this huge quantity of pseudonyms ?
4 Was that really necessary for Marlowe?
We only get in the situation to answer the sheer scale of unresolved questions, uninterpretable literary texts (See John Ford as an example. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zYRdNU6GJc4)
and inconsistencies of so many contemporary authors ( such as Shakespeare, Basse, Wither, Drayton Chapman, Heywood, Barnfield, Taylor etc.) regarding the true poetical genius, if we presuppose the assumption of a multple pseudonymity, which alone can resolve the Shakespeare authorship controversy.
More and more Shakespeare experts are now absurdly assuming that Shakespeare wrote in a team with co-authors.https://www.nosweatshakespeare.com/shakespeares-plays/shakespeares-collaborations/
Otherwise, we drown into a swamp of „unscientificness", or myth and stagnation....why a global collective intelligence up to now (>400 years) was not able to reach some progress to resolve a clearly existent authorship problem?
If somebody has better explanation or a more plausible solution to this nightmare of inconsistencies of a factual problem , we should be delighted to listen to it....

| Frank Günther |
On August 12, 2017, the German cultural journalist and freelance author Bernd Noack interviewed the German Shakespeare translator Frank Günther in the Neue Züricher Zeitung (NZZ) on the occasion of the completion of his last translation "Perikles", entitled "The Happiness of the Conquest of the Texts" of his complete translations of all Shakespeare's Plays.I am referring to 2 questions only
Noack:[Translation] There is little information about Shakespeare's life, and there is still a doubt that he wrote the huge work of his own. Have you approached him, and perhaps see through Shakespeares game?
Günther:[Translation] The Thesis "Shakespeare did not write Shakespeare" is an absurd conspiracy theory, one of the oldest, there is, and that does not interest me at all. Because it's nonsense.
But Shakespeare is as strange to me today and as far away and unrecognizable as it was. He withdraws completely behind his plays, and that is actually the ideal attitude for an author: He is not at all present. He lets his staff act and construct the conflicts between the characters so that one has the impression that the whole is generated by itself. As in the real world. It is never thought that someone takes an instruction and carries it out, but the characters tell the story itself by talking to each other. That is why the author, the Demiurg, completely disappears behind his texts and persons, and one never gets to know him. Unlike Brecht's: after the second piece, you think you already have a good understanding. Shakespeare, on the other hand, is a fog.
Noack: Is not that frustrating?
Günther: No, not at all. You do not have to worry about biographical nonsense: that's what he wrote for that reason, out of that mood. It is said that the author's life can be read in the plays, and that they can only be understood if one knows what he had in the year for a disease - all this plays no role.!
--------------------------------------------
Why, for Gods sake , Günther hadn't the slightest idea of a need to question his own observations. What may be the reason, that the poet and human being "Shakespeare" is to him as strange and far away and unrecognizable as ever? Is Shakespeare really retreating behind his plays? Why is William not present ? Why does not Günther get to know Shakespeare? and so on and so on ....
Could not Günthers fatal attitude "without any scientific curiosity" be related to his total lack of imagination of an authorship problem?

Original German text
Noack: Über Shakespeares Leben gibt es wenig Informationen, und es bestehen nach wie vor Zweifel daran, dass er das riesige Werk selber geschrieben hat. Sind Sie ihm näher und vielleicht sogar auf die Schliche gekommen?
Günther: Die «Shakespeare schrieb nicht Shakespeare»-Behauptung ist eine absurde Verschwörungstheorie, eine der ältesten, die es gibt, und das interessiert mich überhaupt nicht. Weil's Quatsch ist.
Aber Shakespeare ist mir heute tatsächlich genauso fremd und fern und unerkennbar, wie er es war. Er zieht sich völlig hinter seine Stücke zurück, und das ist eigentlich die ideale Haltung für einen Autor: Er ist gar nicht vorhanden. Er lässt sein Personal agieren und konstruiert die Konflikte zwischen den Figuren so, dass man den Eindruck hat, das Ganze generiere sich aus sich selbst. Wie in der wirklichen Welt eigentlich. Nie meint man, dass einen da einer belehrend an die Hand nimmt und durchführt, sondern die Figuren erzählen die Geschichte selber, indem sie miteinander reden. Deswegen verschwindet der Autor, der Demiurg, gänzlich hinter seinen Texten und Personen, und man lernt ihn niemals kennen. Anders als etwa bei Brecht: Den meint man nach dem zweiten Stück doch schon gut begriffen zu haben. Shakespeare dagegen ist ein Nebel.
Noack: Ist das nicht frustrierend?
Günther: Nein, überhaupt nicht. Man muss sich nicht um biografischen Unsinn kümmern: Das hat er aus diesem Grund, aus jener Stimmung heraus geschrieben. Man meint ja, das Leben des Autors könne man in den Stücken lesen und diese verstehe man erst, wenn man wisse, was er in dem Jahr für eine Krankheit hatte – das fällt hier alles flach!
(517) Michael Drayton: A significant Pen-name of the true Shakespeare! (Arguments part 1 / of 6)
Early on, the poet Michael Drayton, has been considered a pioneer of the sonneteering obsession in Elisabethan England, with significant influences on Shake-speare’s(!) Sonnets.
This YouTube contribution argues (first 5 Arguments - part 1/of 6) why Michael Drayton must belong to the early "poetical pseudonyms" of the "true" Shakespeare (alias Marlowe).
Argument 1 The missing Overlap
Argument 2 The Authors Sacrifice
Argument 3 His first Death
Argument 4 Marlowes Gaveston
Argument 5 Eloquent Gaveston
