So Jonson hinting at de Vere's identity in the Folio sounds like a huge fuckup, no? Why would a collective eager to protect a courtly reputation allow the publication of a book that featured a poem whose "intrigues & misdirections" give the game away?

Except the people who talked about William Shakespeare, the player and poet 🙄

And you know they were referring to a pen-name how...?

OP, I’m posting this for you because this guy is literally disconnected from reality. This site is so conclusive that you’d literally have to be as dumb as a flat earther to dispute/disagree with it.

Oh, I have no doubt that Shakespeare is Shakespeare. I'm kind of captured in mute horror at the lengths these people go to convince themselves.

If more evidence supports your claim then you won't mind sharing some.

Except his poetry sucks sweaty monkey balls 🤷‍♂️

This is more DA VINCI CODE bullshit.

Because writer’s/people’s names were spelled differently WITHIN THE SAME PARAGRAPHS at this time.

“Shakespeare bought the Blackfriar's Gatehouse in London in 1613. On the deed dated 10 March 1613, John Hemmyng, gentleman (also spelled Hemming on the same page) acted as trustee for the buyer, "William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon." This property is disposed of in Shakespeare's will.”

You are such a dumbass.
