Subject: RE: BS: Shakespeare: Henry Neville?
So, Bald Eagle 2, are you seriously trying to argue that all the plays were written before de Vere died in 1604, or do you perhaps prefer the theory that de Vere wrote some of them posthumously?

Re Hamlet you said "[...] Hamlet is a biography of De Vere (Perhaps you just have to keep saying "It isn't, it isn't" until it stops bothering the thought processes.)"

A post or two later you said: "It is contended (by others, not I) that the rework [of Hamlet] added in all the salient features of De Vere's life.

Just exactly where do you yourself stand on this?

Ron Davies, presumably all those great minds thought alike, notwithstanding that it was a subject on which one or two of them could have known very little. But I'd be a bit surprised if their agreed candidate was Henry Neville.
