Someone recently observed in “First Things” that all Crackpots have a theory about Shakespeare. I think this is true, based on my observation of my own family’s frightfully numerous Crackpots.
I have no theory about Shakespeare, which demonstrates (whew!) that I am not a Crackpot.
This thing has a 3 ft wingspan.
Now, returing to Shakespeare, his daughter and Marlowe's son were early Jamestown VA settlers.
There, work with that one remembering that Shakespeare, like others of his age, believed the New World was inhabited by fantastic beings ~ so maybe he was in King Powhatan's Court!
Oh, the irony!
