BaldEagle2 BS: Shakespeare: Henry Neville? (139* d) RE: BS: Shakespeare: Henry Neville? 01 Nov 05


All Einstein's work was in physics and mathematics.   If he had conceived of a definitive method of translating Greek into Hottentot, for example, then I would have been staggered.   Absolutely gob smacked.

But I have already conceded that the works attributed to our Bill could have been written by a person who did not have a shred of knowledge about anything.

Can we move on?

Did you know that the room that Shakespeare was born in was not identified until the mid-18th Century, in the booming infancy of the Stratford tourist industry?   Is the provenance of that room good enough to convince you that it was the actual room he was born in?   If not, why not?   And yet it would seem that the provenance for our Bill himself, equally shaky, is good enough to be accepted by every schoolboy in the land.   Come on - do explain the difference between the two.
