The antiquated repeated questions (or same arguments) of Alain English
 |
Lately I became aware of english actor Alain English and his second short youtube Video (April. 23-2014) on the Authorship debate with his 20 question to Will., following his Panel Debate.(s.Video blog 293) It seems that today's generation has not yet progressed beyond the insights of ->George G. Greenwood and others , 100 years ago
Alain English posed the following question to Shakespeare: ---------------- Can you tell me why all the documents You left behind about your life, None of them mentions your writing career? Can you tell me why your name is never spelt 'Shakespeare' on any of these documents? Can you tell me why both your daughters grew up illiterate? Can you tell me why we have no play-scripts, poems or even a letter Written in your own hand? Can you tell me why your will contains no mention of theatre, plays, books or writing equipment of any kind? Why not you? Your fellows left behind proof that they were writers - Why is there so little proof that you were you? Can you tell me why none of the people who knew you in Stratford connect you with being a writer? Why did you never even stage a play in Stratford? Why did none of your fellow writers offer personal tributes to you while you were still alive? Why, for a man of such exceptional talent, were you never buried in Poet's Corner? Why did no-one say anything about you whatsoever when you died? Why did we have to wait seven years after your death for the First Folio? Why did the monument erected to you in Stratford not originally show you as a writer? What was your story? Why did you write these plays? Why have you hidden for all these years behind someone else's name? Why is it, according to the sonnets, you did not want to be remembered? Were you one person, or were you many? Should the story stay unchanged and the truth left undisturbed? So tell us, please, we want to know - who are you William Shakespeare? ------------------------
Did you use pseudonyms during your lifetime , and if yes, how many?
