Easy. If you had read Anderson's book you would at least pretend to have something substantive to say about it.
Having actually read it myself, I can tell you that it's an impressive piece of research. Amazon reviewers appear to agree.
Amazon reviewers ???
I did say something substantive to say about it, and following the advice of Strunk -- he's the author of "The Elements of Style", although some attribute it to White -- I omitted needless words.
The three major arguments the author (of the book, although someone else is probably the author) are insubstantial. Gosh, no trace of Shakespeare's report cards? After only 400 years?!? No evidence that he went beyond London -- where he penned a bunch of plays and got rich doing it, maybe he'd have done better in Luton? And he didn't leave any books in his will (part of the "he was illiterate" or as the socialist Mark Twain claimed, he couldn't sign his name), yet he obviously knew Ovid very well.Shakespeare must also have read Ovid in the original Latin. He uses the name Titania for the Queen of the Fairies, which was skipped in Golding’s translation. [Katherine Blakeney]The idea that Shakespeare didn't write Shakespeare was invented in the 19th century by some loon. Just because a bunch of attention whores have saddled on the idea and argued among themselves which person must be the *real* author off and on for over a century doesn't make the idea compelling, it makes it look ever-more absurd.
