The Oxford-Shakespeare Authorship thesis is soon going to be a hundred years old.-
Was there any progress during a century?
________________________________
.... the crucial reason, why over 100 years it has not gained ground, is not that William from Stratford was the Poet Genius (Be sure he was not!) but that "Edward de Vere" died much too early (1604) and
no contemporary has ever described him as a literary playwright and poetical genius....

Prof. Roger Stritmatter Roger A. Stritmatter (*1958) is general editor of Brief Chronicles, a delayed open access journal covering the Shakespeare authorship question and a founder of the modern Shakespeare Fellowship (SOF), an organization that promotes Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, as the true author of the works of William Shakespeare.
He is one of the leading modern-day advocates of the Oxfordian theory of Shakespeare authorship, and has been called the “first professional Oxfordian scholar”.
In his first self made "YouTube Video" he claims that he...
a) "....has studied the evidence carefully enough to realize that as up to 2016 we are in a significantly advanced stage of what historian of ideas would call a "Paradigm Shift".-
b)" ... has been living with a 400 year old peece of Mythology who Shakespeare was and what relationship between his life and his works is..."
How can Dr. Stritmatter expect a paradigm shift within the next 100 years, if Oxfordians for a century have not even begun to tackle the 1604 issue with its abundance of insoluble literary, psychological, historical and other conflicts ?
... in the long run, I'm afraid, Christopher Marlowe holds the better cards.
