Yes, if you're a fan of Joseph Pearce, who analyzes the Catholicity of the works of Shakespeare and Tolkein, you'll really like Mr. Kalb's analysis of Hamlet.

He gave me a hard copy of this months ago, and I just started reading Hamlet in preparation for reading his study.

I had a literature professor who analyzed Shakespeare's works from a Catholic perspective. I wish now that I had recorded his lectures: they were amazing!  :)

From wikipedia: The names "Arthurus Stratfordus Wigomniensis" and "Gulielmus Clerkue Stratfordiensis" are found within ancient inscriptions at the Venerable English College, a seminary in Rome which has long trained Catholic clergy serving in Britain. Scholars have speculated that these names might be related to Shakespeare, who is alleged to have visited the city of Rome twice during his life.

I am a committed anti-Stratfordian.
Why?

There is no way a merchant with no education could have produced the works attributed to him. And I have felt this way long before that movie came out. This is not project of mine, but what cursory evidence I do know leads me to my conclusion.

I don't care who wrote them, since we'll probably never know for sure. I jst enjoy reading (and watching) the plays.  :shrug:

He was a merchant with no education?

OK to be fair he was the son of a man who had various jobs, one of which, I believe was a grain merchant. He grew up as a peasant, albeit middle class. He did not attend any institution of higher education.

Reminds me of the Italian poet Giacomo Leopardi. He was the son of a rich man who had a huge library. That's all he needed.
