Really, why you say it is nonsense. There is a lot of proof of this. Where is the person that is attributed to the works of Shakespeare has only 6 different signatures that can be traced to him, where as Edward Devere has hundreds of writings, educational background, travel background, and military background one would need to have to be able to write such works.
I guess it is all nonsense, and easy for you to do what Rush would call a drive-by. You must have stolen a tactic from the Democrats in just resort to saying completely unsupported statements that add nothing to the conversation. Continue with your ignorance, or you can actually intelligently debate me. Either way have a nice Christmas.
...As well as the elitist fellow snobs to maintain such late 18th century sophistry to this day.
Ben Jonson knew Shakespeare and added his homage in Heminges' & Condell's First Folio edition. Moreover, Shakespeare was attacked - by name and by play - by numerous critics over the course of his literary output. He definitely wrote the Sonnets to which numerous stylistic, alliterative, poetic and prosaic standards can be authoritatively ascertained and compared, none of which can be said for your favorite nobleman, and for whom you too mentioned nothing as to any measure of detail in by your first post. So who was "driving-by" in this?
Oh, and by all means, Merry Christmas.
