I'm perfectly willing to get into the spirit of the thing, visit Stratford on Avon, etc.-( which I've heard is actually dishearteningly commercialized--is this true?----but check pretty carefully how many of the statements presented as fact there are actually supported by evidence. And I sure intend to buy the Neville book when it comes out, and find out if the authors' approach has a tighter case.

At this point, I'm definitely not convinced by either case.
