(53) Unprecedented refusal to recognize scientific results of outsiders ("amateurs")

Dolly Walker-Wraight

Why Shakespeare experts" have ignored key contributions of alleged outsiders ( "amateurs")  like Dolly Walker - Wraight to the authorship problem?

_____________________________

Nowadays no academic expert in English Literature dares to doubt about William Shakespeare from Stratford as the author of Shakespeare's works.

The doubters and skeptics (so-called "Anti-Stratfordians") have been gradually eliminated by ostracism or pushed into a corner of  "amateurs", which did not possess sufficiently well-founded knowledge  about the Elizabethan time and history, or on the methods and standards of literary studies.

This has meant that the authorship question has been entirely suppressed for decades in the English and German academic centers in an unprecedented manner.

This led inevitably to an absolute professional taboo zone. Scientists who would now openly confess to a doubt as to the person Shakspere from Stratford would jeopardize their career or their professional existence.

The remaining authorship debate has been completely pushed into the  "provincial" corner  of a lack of seriousness.

Independent thinkers and scientists were downgraded  to "amateurs". - Unfortunately, in neglecting fundamental scientific standards the academic [Stratfordian] "experts" have ignored  key contributions of alleged outsiders ( "amateurs " ) like  Dolly Walker - Wraight , see picture)
