→Carl O. Nordling (1919-2007) must have been an impressive man with a wide range of interests. A Finnish born architect, urban planner and amateur historian. His most notable work is in scientific disciplines outside his professional expertise. - In his later years he contributed to the →debate on Shakespeare's identity. He favoured the theory of William Stanley, Lord Derby as the true Shakespeare"
2 small excerpts of Nordlings mind
1 "...the few biographical facts about the Stratfordian Shakspere are rather unsatisfactory as an aid to understanding the plays. For instance, why should he make Juliet 13 years old, i.e. much younger than Romeo when his own bride was so much older than himself? That leaves the extremely low age of Juliet unexplained. The play characters and Shakspere have very few points in common, as far as the ordinary observer is able to recognize. ..."
2 "...means that the notion of the actor’s authorship has ever since been a starting point for the research, not something that might eventually be the result of thorough study. Such postulates (or axioms) are not uncommon in various disciplines. Five hundred years ago the thesis claiming the earth as the solid centre of the universe was a matter of course. It was not to be proven or called into question. The cosmology of today similarly postulates the Big Bang as the origin of everything--again without any real proof. In order to be maintained the postulates need consensus, which can be achieved either by superior authority or by group pressure. A Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) or a Hannes Alfvén (1908-1994) who questions cosmological dogmas gets house arrest or is reduced to silence. - The same practice applies to literary history as well....!"
