PREFACE
The true title of this work should be, "Apropos to Shakespeare." The desire of introducing, as they say in England, before the public, the new translation of Shakespeare, has been the first motive of the author. The feeling which interests him so profoundly in the translator should not deprive him of the right to recommend the translation. However, his conscience has been solicited on the other part, and in a more binding way still, by the subject itself. In reference to Shakespeare all questions which touch art are presented to his mind. To treat these questions, is to explain the mission of art; to treat these questions, is to explain the duty of human thought toward man. Such an occasion for speaking truths imposes a duty, and he is not permitted, above all at such an ep

Shakespeare’s Real Identity: The Stupid Conspiracy Theory That Just Won’t Die
The ‘anti-Stratfordians’ are back with some new ‘proof’ that Shakespeare’s plays and poetry were written by someone who wasn’t Shakespeare, and for the love of Hecate, why won’t this nonsense end?
There are two parts to this new proof: the first suggests that Shakespeare’s remains were re-interred at Westminster Abbey under his monument in Poets’ Corner, and that they actually belong to Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford. This is based on the “mysterious dedication” to Aspley’s edition of Shakespeare’s sonnets of 1609, and a “riddle” in the Shakespeare monument in Stratford, and has been put forward by Alexander Waugh.
Sigh.
This is a new development in a conspiracy theory that should have faded away long ago. It’s been knocking around for so long that there has to be a name for those who believe that William Shakespeare was a famous writer, other than ‘normal’; I’m Stratfordian and proud,
Who else was Shakespeare if not, uh, Shakespeare? Don’t worry, the anti-Stratfordians have plenty of candidates. Trouble is, none of them hold up to scrutiny. De Vere is the preferr
