Shakespeare’s Plays Were Written By A Jewish Woman

I don't know who wrote the book, and I don't deny that a ghost writer would most likely have been involved. I just point out that a lot of the "sea metaphors" or "nautical imagery" was pretty standard stuff that one didn't have to be a merchant seaman or even a very good writer to come up with. It's a bum argument, so far as I can tell.

To get back to Shakespeare and Lanier, though: not all of Shakespeare's rich imagery comes from the field of music, does it? He drew from many fields, didn't he? And in some of those fields it would be hard for a woman to acquire first-hand knowledge in the 16th or 17th century.

I'm not saying a woman absolutely couldn't have written the plays, but it's at least as likely that "William Shakespeare" could have come to know something of music, farming, war, navigation and other fields as it is that Lanier could have. Also, the bawdy puns in the plays are, all things considered, less likely to come from a woman than from a man.

I remember, the players have often mentioned it as an honor to Shakespeare, that in his writing (whatsoever he penned) he never blotted out a line. My answer hath been, would he had blotted a thousand. — Ben Jonson

Unlike Shakespeare, Jonson was known as a slow, meticulous writer. After Shakespeare’s death, Jonson wrote: “I remember the players have often mentioned it as an honor to Shakespeare that in his writing, whatsoever he penned, he never blotted out a line. My answer hath been, would he had blotted a thousand. [...] I loved the man and do honor his memory on this side of idolatry, as much as any: he was indeed honest, and of an open and free nature; had an excellent phantasy, brave notions, and gentle expressions; wherein he flowed with that facility, that sometimes it was necessary he should be stopped.”

But how did she write them in Klingon?

We’ll know for sure when the boys finally reach the Oak Island vault.

You remember the ghost scenes in Hamlet? Like that. ;^)

I have read scores of idiotic claims about who wrote Shakespeare. They are just fancy fabrications woven from stray strands of facts into a narrative that is ultimately unconvincing, if not preposterous. I put this one in the category of preposterous.

"To be or not to be? Wait, how do you say that in Klingon, or Klingonee as the Original Series Tribbles episode had it. :^)

The search for the imaginary treasure vault creeps in its petty pace from day to day.

Bob and Doug McKenzie’s strange brew is some movie, Huh?!!!

If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended.
That you have but slumbered here
while these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
no more yielding but a dream.

“You’ve not experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Klingon.”

Lord Hunsdon, when he was in his early 50s, had an affair with Emilia who was in her 20s, and fathered a son by her. I wonder if her line has endured?
