(537) The fantastic imaginations of Alexander Waugh

Very  impressive castles in the air ! 


Alexander Waugh is a leading advocate of the Oxfordian theory, the belief that Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford wrote the works of William Shakespeare

He is a life member of the De Vere Society, [4] and serves as the Honorary President of the Shakespeare Authorship Coalition.[5]

For quite some time he has been running a YouTube channel where he claims to have found surreptitious allusions embedded in 16th- and 17th-century works revealing that the name "William Shakespeare" was a pseudonym 
("I think, this is correct!) , but used by Edward de Vere to write the Shakespeare oeuvre.("I think this is incorrect!"!)

Unfortunately he does not allow comments on his Youtube channel  since he doesn't intend ( as he wrote) to spend the rest of his  life replying and arguing with impudent trolls.  Difficult to understand. It wouldn't  be difficult to erase the trolls (within seconds)  and keep the reasonable  letters and arguments. That's managable! Perhaps there are other reasons:  all his articles  ask for  contradiction.  Lately he made again an interesting contribution about  the hidden secrets in Francis Meres "Palladis Tamia"1598) a key witness for the Shakespeare authorship debate.

Definition  of Chimera (1621) by the "true" Shake-speare
alias Josuah Sylvester
Is Waugh even remotely  sure who Francis Meres really was.  I wonder what kind of idea he has  of how the brain works.-

Does he  really believe that a single  dubious  but congenial Francis M. put such an obscure highly complex inner construction (a fantasic chimera) on paper  whose strange logic 400 years later a single similar congenial Alexander W. is (accidentally?) able to decipher? 
Does he really believe that Meres brain  had a mechanism or a deep need to conceal an unidentifiable truth in such a weird way? 

I assume that "Alexander Waugh" would be able to convince us ,  that it is not accidental that in his own 15 letter  name  unrecognized hidden meanings are concealed (to name a few - to be found in any anagram generator )



Lately  I reflected on Francis Meres (Blog 505).-
youtube contribution about Drayton. Argument 14 ( at 1h 03 min 20 sec) deals with Francis Meres ! Perhaps it is of some interest for some curious Non-Stratfordian!
