Yeah, the man who discounts the need to actually work with a theater company to write a play for them doesn't get to criticize me in any capacity. So tell me, colden, if Shakespeare didn't write Shakespeare, who did? And before you list any of the Blue Blooded alternatives, I will mention that the man who wrote Shakespeare's plays thought Padua had a harbor, Bohemia had a coastline, France had lions, and ancient Rome had clocks. At the end of the day, the only reason the Anti-Stratfordian way of thought even exists is because Shakespeare was a middle class kid born into a nobody family who didn't have a university degree (though we know he was educated, because we have his signature). They think his plays are so brilliant, so polished, so divine that only someone of high education and a vast wealth of knowledge could have written them (despite the geological discrepancies I just pointed out). Why the same isn't suspected of Maya Angelou, Mark Twain, Truman Capote, Charles Dickens, or Ray Bradbury is anyone's guess.
I've never heard the controversy spun as being solely and exclusively classist but rather that the plays evince a knowledge of things "a middle class kid born into a nobody family" would be less likely to've known. "the man who wrote Shakespeare's plays thought Padua had a harbor, Bohemia had a coastline, France had lions, and ancient Rome had clocks." Oh really? Actually, the plays do nothing of the sort. Sure, they tended to be about people in the upper class, but so did a lot of other stories written by normal people.
