(118) Stanley Wells: Why these emotions in the Shakespeare authorship debate? (part 1)

… an agreement (on the authorship issue) will probably not be possible. -  

   Comfort can only be found in the insight of the great Max Planck who made a great confession  at the end of his life:

Elderly British Shakespeare Expert and professor Emeritus Sir Stanley Wells in a →Swiss TV Interview (lately erased) on the Shakespeare authorship issue replyed to the Question


Why these emotions? 
Stanley Wells: ....it’s emotional because it is irrational! there is no reason behind the thought that Shakespeare did not write Shakespeare.

 So all the people who put forward that idea, in my opinion, are fanatics. They are not scholars. I don’t know of any serious Shakespeare scholar, who believes that Shakespeare didn’t write Shakespeare; the people who didn't [or do not] believe that Shakespeare did not write Shakespeare are amateurs, they are actors, or they are „literateurs“, they are men of letters, they are not the real scholars. 
Nobody who really knows about the Elizabethan period has ever suggested, that Shakespeare didn’t write Shakespeare.      (s.also  Blog 25, 102)

“A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it”
