(14) Gelferts doubtlessness about Shakespeare!

     "Shakespeare  not an "intellectual"  

but from a rural middle-class",  



Hans-Dieter  Gelfert, Professor Emeritus FU Berlin, wrote  a book about  „Shakespeare"  (C.H.Beck Wissen 2000 , Second edition 2014). 

There he states that it would be difficult to imagine  Marlowe's figures  „Tamburlaine“ and „Faustus“ in  Shakespeare , since ...


...Shakespeare  was not an "intellectual"  but from a rural middle-class, without Marlowe's  elitist ethos .


Thus alleged truths are proclaimed from legends of so-called Shakespeare experts that seal the authorship problem finally and uncontradicted.

Do Gelferts certainties  really correspond to the truth?
