(339) The number of Shakespeare candidates is not the consequence but paradoxically the cause of the authorship problem!

"The very idea that so [too] many people have been suggested as the author of Shakespeares works in itself to me is enough to show 

that it is a mad idea, it's just crazy !"




---> Wikipedia lists  86 names of potential Shakespeare authorship candidates  
(i.e.: that someone other than William Shakspere of Stratford-upon-Avon wrote the works) proposed until now. -   

Hardly anyone seems to be  aware of how totally absurd this situation is. -
High-ranking Shakespeare expert Sir Stanley Wells was absolutely right when he said in a  Video-interview with the Swiss television (SF1) [no more available']

"The very idea that so many people have been suggested as the author of Shakespeare's works in itself to me is enough to show that it is a mad idea, it's just crazy !"

A comparison:
Imagine we  would know virtually nothing about the artistic background of  Mozart. We would essentially derive  his artistic biography from his music and we would search for other candidates with the absolutely unique format of the composer. Hardly anyone would expect or assume that there would have been another, a second candidate of Mozarts exceptionalism  at the same time , let alone the number of >75 composer-candidates.! .-

The same applies to Shakespeare!

Also Stanley Wells did fall into this trap 
of an unsurmountable paradox:

The number of Shakespeare authorship candidates is not the consequence
            but the cause 
                                          of the problem.

In Shakespeare's time there was only one absolutely unthinkably prolific talent and Genius (Christopher Marlowe). The number of so many candidates could arise only because the exceptional talent was forced and able to conceal his identity throughout his long life 
hiding himself behind  an  incredibly number of initials, alias-names, pen-names, cover-names,  pseudonyms, nom de plumes ***1) etc.

***1 (such as William Shake-speare, Nicholas Breton, Henry Willobie (H.W.),William Clarke W.C., Peter Colse (P.C.), Barnabe Barnes, Bartholomew Griffin (B.G.), Richard Barnfield (R.B.), John Bodenham (J.B.),William Basse (W.B.), Gervase Markham (G.M.), Thomas Shelton (T.S.), Henry Petowe, John Taylor, George Wither, Thomas Heywood, John Davies[twice], Michael Drayton, Thomas Middleton, John Ford and more.-

As unthinkable and absurd as it may sound, a paradox that apparently contradicts itself and yet alone will lead to a final solution of the seemingly intractable authorship problem.-
