(6) Shakespeare's german representatives (2013) !

Not willing to accept a nonfiction book 

about Shakespeare's authorship (let alone to write a critical review.)


Tobias Döring
Sabine Schülting
Joachim Frank

The German  non fiction book "The true Shakespeare  Christopher Marlowe" was sent to representatives of the German Shakespeare Society (DSG), asking for critical Review in the Yearbook of the Society.
Prof. Tobias Döring,  President of the "German Shakespeare Society" aknowledged  with thanks the receipt of the book , remarking, that he had forwarded it for  archiving  to the Shakespeare Achive in Weimar.
It is remarkable that a German president of the German Shakespeare Society   didn't not intend to read the book and to argue with the thesis (I suppose, according to his internal attitude : "Yet another book with such a crazy theory")

 Prof.
Sabine Schülting, Berlin  responsible for The Yearbook of the Society confirmed the receipt of the book upon inquiry after 4 month, , answering
"Where would we be  if we would review any unsolicited book?  In  refunding  the return postage (€ 4.10) she  would be  happy to return the book. "

Prof. Joachim Frenk, Saarbrücken, responsible for the review part of new Books about Shakespeare in the Year-Book... confirmed the receipt after 6 months by sending it back, expressing his regret that unfortunaley there was not enough space in the annual book review section .....
