(67) Posener's misconception: Did everyone know the dramatist ("Theatermann") Shakespeare in London at his time?

Why there are no signs that Shakspeare ever communicated or corresponded with anyone.....??



 Alan Posener, German author, journalist, editor, columnist wrote on January 7, 2014 in "Die WELT" a review about Kurt Kreiler 's book " The delicate thread that weaves the beauty": One Hundred Poems of Edward de Vere Earl of Oxford and Kurt Kreiler ( Nov.2014 )

Posener, who does not share the conviction  of Kreiler (i.e. Oxford = Shakespeare Thesis), revealed towards the end of his article that in London at the time everyone knew the dramatist  ("Theatermann"[Shakespeare]), who wrote  "Venus & Adonis" and " Lucrece ".


There is, however, no scientific evidence for Poseners statement.
An identity in any form whatsoever between the poets name and the person of Stratford could not be provided prior to the publication of the First Folio and the establishment of a bust (1623) in the church in Stratford. If there were  sources to Shakespeare's lifetime, which put him in touch with the author of the works of "Hamlet", "Romeo and Juliet" etc. the authorship debate would probably not have arisen.



Ultimately, the underlying problem relates to the question of why over a quarter century  nobody ever met in the metropolis of London the greatest poet of humanity in his lifetime, the literary Shakespeare, or has reported about him and why there are no signs that he ever communicated or corresponded with anyone.....??
