(61) Shakespeare authorship dispute: a panic reaction








                          Shakespeare authorship dispute:   a panic reaction

The Kölner Stadt Anzeiger, a German Newspaper was among the first who heralded  the Shakespeare anniversary year 2014 (450.Birthday) with an  article (02/01/2014). By way of a preliminary point,   the writer of the article and supposed Shakspeare expert submitted his point of view:

[Translation] ... and yet you can never really know Shakespeare. Wherefore the panic reaction is to dispute his right to the authorship. But if he was another one, one has only postponed the problem .....
[
German]...und doch kann man Shakespeare nie wirklich kennen. Weshalb die Kurzschlussreaktion darin besteht, ihm    die Autorschaft streitig zu machen. Aber wenn es ein andrer war, hat man das Problem nur verschoben.....
How could the Autor  consider to describe the centuries-old Shakspeare 'authorship debate as a panic reaction? -


Could it be, if he would have recognized the problem that he had not postponed the problem but would have started for the first time  to understand  the true author of Shakespeare's works and his identity problem (s) ....?
