Elderly British Shakespeare ProfessorStanley Wells in a →Swiss TV Interview (starting at min: 17.00) on the Shakespeare authorship issue replyed to the question

 Why these emotions? 


Sir Stanley Wells (Excerpt): 

That’s the only interesting thing about it, to me, about the whole controversy; what is it?
what form does this madness take? why do people go off in this weird strange direction? 
What is it? 

It is very strange because a lot of the books that are written try to show that Shakespeare didn’t write Shakespeare, a lot of them are quite intelligent books in the sense they are written by people who know a lot and who are genuine scholars, not of Shakespeare but scholars of other things, and the trouble with them, with these books is not that they show a lot of knowledge and reasoning but that they are written on a wrong foundation of reasoning, they are just crazy!
