Now I don't have much time to keep working on it. So I'm making it public and asking if anyone can provide some help to complete it. Where there are asterisks for Oxford it means that I think this is true but do not have the express evidence at hand to prove or support it. If you want to provide that evidence I would be most appreciative. I got this idea from Sabrina Feldman who used this type of comparison to promote her candidacy of Thomas Sackville as the true author of the Shakespeare works. So I started working on this similar chart that incuded Bacon and Oxford.

The personage to whom you assign the just fame of these marvelous productions seems to have been in every way born, educated and equipped for such a work. he had the requisite learning, the speculative aptitude and habit, the rhetorical skill and poetic feeling that the most cursory reading discloses as the everwhere dominant tone in this grandest diapason of human speech."</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">--George Talbot, author and retired lawyer, 1904</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">"In wit . . .

English law... so perfect and intimate that he was never incorrect and never at fault", <u>arguing that this was evidence that the plays were the work of a legal expert</u> such as Bacon.[8] Several other authors followed Wilde's arguments about the legal expertise used in Shakespeare, including Sir George Greenwood." </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">-- Wikipedia</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">"The Baconian thesis has up to this day been asserted in presence of three successive generations by able and most sincere writers . . .

In examining a problem of such importance to English literature as the authorship of the plays attributed to Shakspere one can hardly use too great deliberation. I felt this so strongly that it was only after about ten years' reading and reflection that I became a convinced Baconian. I have been brought to this conclusion mainly by the impossibility of reconciling the facts we know concerning the life of the man of Stratford with the technical and universal knowledge inherent in the plays."</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">-- Hon.

On the contrary, it is generally recognized that on purely a priori grounds there is less to shock common sense in the idea that those wonderful compositions were the work of a scholar, a philosopher, a statesman, and a profound man of the world than there is in the idea that they were the work of a notoriously ill-educated actor, who seems to have found some difficulty in signing his own name." </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">--W. H. Mallock, 1901</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">"The difficulty hitherto of getting a fair hearing for the mere literary argument has chiefly arisen from the illogical resentment shown by many people at the bare idea of dethroning a national idol. Shakespeare has so long been thought of as a genius of the very foremost order that any suggestion, tending to prove that he was a very commonplace person in reality, is treated as though it involved an attempt to detract from the sublimity of the works bearing his name. But in reason it must be conceded that we worship the memory of Shakespeare because we admire Hamlet, king Lear, and the rest. We do not admire the plays because any particular man wrote them . . . The question is still one which most English newspapers and periodicals are afraid to discuss freely for fear of offending the blind prejudice above referred to. Orthodox Shaksperean biographers simply ignore the all important question as though it were a craze in notorious antagonism to well-known facts, like the idea that the earth is flat, and in this way the minds of people who might be capable of independent judgment, if they had the evidence before them, are left in complete ignorance of the prodigious force residing in the Baconian argument -- unless, indeed, they have gone out of their way to make a special study of the Baconian books."</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">--A.P.

The difficulty of imagining this your man to have converted himself in a few years from a state bordering on ignorance into a deeply read student, master of French and Italian, as well as of Greek and Latin, and capable of quoting and borrowing largely from writers in all these languages, is almost insuperable . . . His name once removed from the controversy, there will not, i think, be much question as to the lawyer to whose pen the Shakespeare plays are to be attributed."</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">--Lord Penzance, 1903</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">"I am not a Baconian, but I have a perfectly open mind on the matter. I have no objection at all to being convinced that Sir Francis Bacon wrote the splended dramas attributed to Shakespeare; it is so much easier to suppose from our unquestionable knowledge of his life and genius that he MIGHT have written them, than to accept from the unquestioned little that we know of Shakspere and his life that he COULD have done so. It is unnecessary to refer at length to the extraordinary similarity in the knowledge of law, science, art, politics, history, literature, and every other branch of human understanding, exhibited by Shakespeare and Bacon."</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">--R.

So I'm re-posting here.</p><p></p><p>
</p><p class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">This
discussion brings up an important point about some of the authorship evidence
and that I have long had some ideas about. I’m coming from the Baconian
perspective and I have felt challenged by some of the Oxfordian arguments. I’ve
read a fair amount about the Oxfordian evidence, including Hank Whittemore’s “100
Reasons why Oxford was Shakespeare”. And my conclusions is that there is enough
evidence for me to believe that Oxford was likely involved with the Shakespeare
mystery. So then I have felt a need to explain how Bacon could still be the
primary Shakespeare author while accounting for some of the Oxfordian evidence.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> We
begin with the acknowledgement that these two persons seem to have the best
overall qualifications to have been the secret Shakespeare. This conclusion is
based on the extensive and widely collected technical knowledge that the writer
Shakespeare has embedded throughout the plays and poetry in such a natural,
unforced and seemingly unconscious manner that this knowledge was a deep part
of his mental structure. In brief, Shakespeare has demonstrated impressive technical
knowledge (as noted by Ron in an earlier post) on the topics of:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Law,
Philosophy, Classical Literature and Mythology, then modern History and
Literature including French and Italian language sources and apparently some
Hebrew, Music, Medicine, Heraldry, Military and navel terminology and tactics,
Geographical exploration, especially Italy, Etiquette and manners of the
nobility in English, French, and Italian courts, Aristocratic pastimes, Botany-Zoology-Ornithology,
Horticulture, The Bible, Emblems, Witchcraft, Science and Astronomy, as well as
the Universities, especially Cambridge with its own particular vernacular and its
connection to Dr. Caius.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The
legal knowledge itself has been argued to rule out anyone not formally trained
in the law. The Stratfordian defenders have failed completely and miserably at
demonstrating that their man had any of this profound knowledge or that he
could have, even theoretically, have ever possessed much of it.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Now,
regarding Oxford’s many connections to the Shakespeare works, and that was
questioned earlier if others could have known about them, I ask that you keep
in mind that Francis Bacon had spent much time at the courts of both Elizabeth
and James. And that Oxford’s exploits and adventurous life was likely much gossiped
about among court insiders. That Lord Burghley was Bacon’s uncle and Robert
Cecil was his cousin. That he had easy access to Lord Burghley’s library as well
as that of Robert Cotton where exists the only surviving manuscript of Beowulf,
as also the great library of John Dee. That Bacon, while at Trinity College,
dedicated a philosophical discourse to Christopher Hatten on The Anatomy of the
Mind. That the Earls of Pembroke and Montgomery were his acquaintances and
business partners. Southampton was a friend of his until his imprisonment. That
Marlowe also, being a spy, was likely well known to the Bacon brothers due to
their extensive espionage activities, and that many Shakespeare related books
once thought to have belonged to Marlowe were later found to actually have been
in possession of the Bacon brothers. That Francis and his brother Anthony were
long companions and intimate supporters of The Earl of Essex. So Bacon was best
positioned and motivated, if he had been a hidden playwright, to promote Essex through
a popular play. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> “Shapiro
points out that references to Ireland abound in the <b>Henry V</b> play, and
Shakespeare is trying to inspire the crowd to think about how glorious Essex's
victories in Ireland will be.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><a href="https://shakespearesolved.blogspot.com/2012/09/henry-v-and-essex.html">https://shakespearesolved.blogspot.com/2012/09/henry-v-and-essex.html</a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Now,
another thing I’ve thought about, is that Baconians believe that a small group
of Bacon’s closest friends that loved literature, were in on his writing under
the pseudonym of Shakespeare. Naturally, they were sworn or obligated to keep
this a secret amongst themselves. A small group of others (the Queen, some
nobility, Ben Jonson) either knew or suspected this also. And if this was true,
then these and other insightful readers, who also had met or knew about the actor/businessman
from Stratford, would also have understood that this man couldn’t possibly have
been the real author. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">But
for those in the aristocracy, especially that may have felt lampooned in the
Shakespeare works, and those in the universities, and those in the close knit
writing community, that understood this but that didn’t know who the real
author was, how could Bacon have tried to put them off the scent, or been
prepared to plausibly deny that he was the hidden author? One hypothesis I’ve
had is that Bacon deliberately put in enough hints of Oxfordian connections, including
even a clever cipher or two, that could be used to suggest Oxford’s possible authorship,
especially after Oxford had died. If this was the case then Oxford himself may
have even approved of this as long as he was not portrayed in any negative
light. Some Bacon papers have been found to have been in Oxford’s possession.
And they certainly would have known each other at Burghley’s home and at the court.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Now
a counter argument would be that such evidence actually supports Oxford as the
real Shakespeare. But this would only be true if there wasn’t more and better
evidence for Bacon, which I believe there is.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> In
any case, I do believe that any argument for any possible alternate candidate
has to account for at least some of the good evidence used to support other candidates.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">First
thing – HAPPY NEW YEAR to all Shakespeare enthusiasts whatever your authorship
opinion!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">And
secondly,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Here
is my brief response to the other challenges raised. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">To
those who rely totally on supposed (mainstream) Shakespeare ‘experts’ and no
one else I have no hope that you will ever be able to examine different and
opposing evidence and to think for youself. Go ahead, prove me wrong by reading
and analyzing either Ros Barber’s evidence regarding ‘Labeo” or Mark
Alexander’s article on Shakespeare’s law. Show us all the specific faults in
either of their analysis:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><a href="https://shakespeareoxfordfellowship.org/shakespeares-knowledge-of-law/"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">https://shakespeareoxfordfellowship.org/shakespeares-knowledge-of-law/</span></a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">You
say that “The analysis by lawyers that Shakespeare had expert knowledge on the
law, does not include any expert knowledge on the law of Tudor/Stuart England.”
The lawyers who wrote the most authoritative book on this-- <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Shakespeare’s Legal Language</i>, by Sokol
and Sokol, 2000, were certainly experts both on Shakespeare and the law and
legal language he used. And they verify the great extent, great depth, and
accuracy of his legal knowledge as well as his ability to relate legal thought
to all aspects of Shakespeare’s world in both his plays and poetry. This all by
itself should be enough for anyone to have at least some doubt that the
business man from Stratford was the great Author.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">But
to go on:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Regarding
the First Folio’s supposedly incontrovertible evidence and trustworthiness:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Charlton
Hinman faulted the statement, supposedly made by Heminges and Condell, that the
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">First Folio</i> contained the “True
Originall Copies” of Shakespeare’s plays. He wrote “Some of the plays in the
Folio apparently do reproduce Shakespeare’s own “foul papers”; but others are
mere reprints of earlier quartos, and a number were set into type from
combinations, part manuscript and part printed, of materials variously related
to Shakespeare’s original papers . . . Some of the copy supplied to the Folio
printers, on the other hand, <u>must have been very different both from
Shakespeare’s original text and from anything that can be thought to reflect
accurately his intentions or even his acquiescence</u>—though notably inferior
copy was commonly mended by copy of higher authority.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">So
it’s unsure what exactly the writer(s) here meant. And whatever they meant it
doesn’t seem to be true since what ended up in the FF came from a variety of
sources, some of which don’t reflect what Shakespeare actually wrote in his
foul paper manuscripts or what he intended to write when they were later
transcribed or recreated. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Stratfordian
Irvin Leigh Matus in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Shakespeare, IN FACT</i>
writes “that most of these [earlier published plays] were not all “stolen and
surreptitious copies, maimed and deformed by the frauds and stealths of
injurious imposters,” [as said, supposedly, by Heminges and Condell] can be
seen by the fact that the folio texts show definite reference to the
quartos—some of which modern editors hold to be superior, or at least closer to
the author’s original.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Nor
can it be true that Heminge and Condell had then “<span style="color: black;">now
offer'd to your view cur'd, and perfect of their limbes; and all the rest,
absolute in their numbers as he conceived them.” Whoever edited the FF
certainly didn’t remove all imperfections and present for buyers anything like
a perfectly edited product.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">So as with the supposed pictorial figure of the author, we also
can’t take as true testimony of the supposed authors of the preface.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">There then is a couple examples of the ambiguity we speak of.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Regarding whether or not Heminges and Condell actually wrote what
is attributed to them, there’s evidence to suspect they did not. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Some of the summation of this evidence I’m getting from
N.B.Cockburn’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Bacon-Shakespeare
Question</i>, 1998. He writes “Heminges and Condell, .. were probably of little
education” “The language [of the two epistles] is too polished for the actors
and shows signs of classical learning. For example, the Epistle Dedicatory has
close parallels with the Epistle Dedicatory to Pliny’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Natural History…</i>There are strong indications that [the sentence
beginning “country hands”] was written by Jonson…Edmund Malone cited parallels
between the epistles and Jonson’s work. One is the rather odd expression of
classical origin in the epistle to the Readers, “absolute in their numbers”,
meaning “perfect”, which Jonson used at least three times elsewhere.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Much more of this evidence can be found in Katherine Chiljan’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Shakespeare Suppressed</i>, 2011, in chapter
8 - <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The First Folio Fraud</i>. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Again, it is enough evidence to demonstrate that we cannot take
the First Folio assertions or authorship as true or as it first appears to the
unweary reader. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">------------------------------------<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>-</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Next, what about the Stratford Monument?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Avery brief response once more. If you say you take historical
evidence </span><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Res
ipsa loquitur, </span></i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">it follows then that you must take the first
drawing of the bust by Dugdale as fairly accurate with its wool sack and no
pen, drooping mustache, etc. and not depicting a writer, even if he himself
actually thought that the Stratford man was the author. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Interestingly, an Oxfordian researcher, who isn’t even trained in
historical research, discovered a practically identical sculptured bust to that
in the Holy Trinity Church, but in Italy. Further investigation led to the
discovery that it was quite common for such busts to be bought and transported to
England, and that they were also often used to replace the heads on other older
or damaged busts. Hmmm, could it be that the current one supposedly of
Shakespeare actually used to be for a deceased attorney in Italy?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><a href="https://shakespeareoxfordfellowship.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fd2d33c7f087a54bd332500ff&id=355bf77faa&e=7d2e27e474" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #a81e22; font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">https://shakespeareoxfordfellowship.org/conference-videos</span></b></a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">We could say that’s what appears to be the case from a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Prima Facie</i> point of view. Maybe a real
historian someday will be able to settle it one way or another. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Here’s more on the topic of the monument:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><a href="http://hollowaypages.com/Shakespearemonument.htm"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">http://hollowaypages.com/Shakespearemonument.htm</span></a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The famous Latin inscription on the monument adds more ambiguities
to the collected evidence. Here’s how one seemingly un-biased person assessed
it:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><a href="https://newpopulationbomb.com/2012/03/11/shakespeare-by-any-other-name-the-authorship-controversy-and-the-stratford-monument/"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">https://newpopulationbomb.com/2012/03/11/shakespeare-by-any-other-name-the-authorship-controversy-and-the-stratford-monument/</span></a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">True, he wasn’t ‘an expert’ but then what we’re looking for is
what someone’s self-evident impression is. After his own analysis he says he is
now one of the skeptics.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Let
me add again that the ambiguities continue in that how Mr. Goldstone might
interpret the inscription in a negative light, it can also simultaneously be
viewed as depicting the true author. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Oxfordian
Alexander Waugh has offered one interpretation of it:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><a href="https://shakespeareoxfordfellowship.org/thy-stratford-moniment-revisited/"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">https://shakespeareoxfordfellowship.org/thy-stratford-moniment-revisited/</span></a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">And
then the Baconians have shown that the three notables Nestor, Socrates, and
Maro have all been compared to Francis Bacon. Further, so has the idea of the
author now being found on Mt. Olympus also been applied to Bacon. Baconians can
also answer why the inscription uses Maro/Virgil rather than Shakespeare’s
‘favorite’ classic writer Ovid. And this quote from Bacon’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Advancement of Learning</i> will also
mention his opinion of Socrates. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“For
in the time of the two first Caesars, which had the art of government in
greatest perfection, there lived <u>the best poet, Virgilius Maro</u>...but <u>Socrates</u>
whom they had made a person criminal, was made a person heroical, and his
memory accumulates with honours divine and human; and those discourses of his,
which were then termed corrupting of manners, were afterwards acknowledged for
sovereign medicines of the mind and manners, and so have been received ever
since to this day.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">So
if a skilled writer wanted to achieve a level of greatness equal to that of the
greatest of the ancient classical era, then for Bacon anyway, being
acknowledged as a modern Virgil was the mark to aim for.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">-------------------<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>-</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Now,
finally for Jonson who you point out knew the actor/businessman of Stratford. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">As
I’ve written before:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Ben
Jonson is a conflicted witness in that he had a close relationship with his
patron William Herbert, the 3<sup>rd</sup> earl of Pembroke, the Lord
Chamberlain and a dedicatee of the First Folio. This earl had a negotiated
marriage with the earl of Oxford’s daughter Brigit Vere though it was not later
completed. The other dedicatee, his brother Phillip, was married to the
Oxford’s younger daughter, Susan. Conceivably then, Jonson was in a position,
and could have had a motive, to hide Oxford’s authorship on behalf of the
Herberts.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Then
again, Jonson was a friend of Francis Bacon, who was friends with William and
Phillip Herbert. In the biography <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ben
Jonson: A Life</i>, author Ian Donaldson writes that Ben Jonson “was on close
and friendly terms with Bacon during the late 1590s.”Also, “He had written
verses in celebration of Bacon’s sixtieth birthday on 22 January 1621, and may
have been present at York House to read this poem at the lavish banquet held
that night in Bacon’s honour”. This poem includes the cryptic line </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Thou
stand’st as if a mystery thou didst!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">He
seems to have known about some secret that maybe only many of those at the
banquet were aware.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Jonson
also says some of the same things about Bacon that he said of Shakespeare:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Of
Shakespeare: “Of all that insolent Greece, or haughty Rome Sent forth…”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Of
Bacon:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span class="apple-style-span">“<u>he,
who hath fill'd up all numbers</u> <u>; and perform'd that in our tongue, which
may be compar'd, or preferr'd, either to insolent</u></span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="apple-style-span"><i><u>Greece,</u></i></span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="apple-style-span"><u>or
haughty</u></span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="apple-style-span"><i><u>Rome.</u></i></span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="apple-style-span"><u>I</u>n
short, within his view, and about his times, were all the wits borne, that
could honour a language, or helpe study. <u>Now things daily fall : wits grow
downe-ward, and</u></span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="apple-style-span"><i><u>Eloquence</u></i></span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="apple-style-span"><u>growes
back-ward</u> : So <u>that</u></span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="apple-style-span"><u>hee may be nam'd, and</u> <u>stand as the <i>marke,</i></u></span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="apple-style-span"><u>and
[acme] of our language</u>”. This is from Jonson’s citing of </span>whom he
considers to have been England’s greatest writers. Nowhere is Shakespeare
mentioned. Hmmm, what ever happened to that “Soul of the Age!”?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Non-Stratfordians (and some Stratfordians
as I recall) seem to agree that Jonson’s Epigram beginning “Poor Poet Ape, that
would be thought <u>our chief</u>,” refers to the actor from Stratford. The
only other person that Jonson calls “our chief” is Bacon:</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Francis Bacon, Lord Verulam</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“One,
though he be excellent <u>and the chief</u>, is not to be imitated alone, for
never no imitator ever grew up to his author; likeness is always on the side
truth. Yet there happened in my time one noble speaker who was full of gravity
in his speaking; his language, where he could spare or pass by a jest…” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">It
seems that Francis Bacon would take much pleasure in a big jest or practical
joke.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Finally,
we know that in his final years Bacon was putting together his final
manuscripts for publication. He had a stable of “good pens” including “Mr.
Benjamin Johnson (the learned and judicious Poet)” to help with the Latin
translations. Many Baconians believe then that Jonson was likely living with
Bacon at this time for this purpose and so at or about the same time he was
working on the First Folio. Yet it’s always been found a bit odd that Bacon
never mentioned anywhere in his writings either Shakespeare or Jonson though we
know he obviously knew them both and would have admired their work. And also
this is not to assert that Bacon wrote all the Shakespeare works. Maybe if he
was the ‘chief’ of a circle of playwrights and poets then maybe he wrote some
and supervised or advised other writers. Even some Baconians assert that Oxford
certainly wrote some of the Shakespeare works. Maybe we can never have enough evidence
to do any more than suggest that so and so probably wrote such and such.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">At
this point all points asserted for the traditional <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Prima Facie</i> or <i>Res ipsa loquitur</i><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"> case have been rebutted. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Evidence casts strong doubt against Heminges and
Condell having written any part of the preface since the evidence already links
Jonson to it. Jonson, by the evidence, knew the Stratford man but does not
appear to have been a friend of his. He was a friend of Francis Bacon and he
was supported in his work by one or both of the Herbert brothers who had
connections to the earl of Oxford.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">You keep throwing out these Primary Source red
herrings. Evidence of any and all historical artifacts plus analysis is what
leads to judgements. You don’t need, and can’t expect, a contemporary document
that says something like “I, Ben Jonson, am the real author of the First Folio
parts that list Heminges and Condell as the author.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s ridiculous to expect him to reveal to
everyone something he would have had to agree to conceal. Similarly, if
Heminges and Condell had known all along that someone other than their business
partner William Shaksper was writing these scripts, and they must have known
the truth one way or another, then it’s possible that they wouldn’t want to
harm their friend’s memory by revealing a secret that the general public had of
the matter. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">In essence, because not a single one of you
assertions have stood up to scrutiny, you’ve cornered yourself with the stupid
stance that, if there was a hidden author, that anyone in on the secret would
have abandoned their oath or agreement to keep the secret and state
unequivocally for posterity, and in a way that would survive for hundreds of
years, all the truth about the author of the Shakespeare works. You’re only
left with the thinnest of frayed threads that only some particular ‘expert’
scholar of your acceptance, or some undiscovered primary source, artificially
chosen by you alone, and of which you alone would make the sole judgement
about, could be allowed to upset the traditional authorship belief. And your
little certificate doesn’t qualify you as anything like an expert historian.
And so according to your very own standards, no one should count as meaningful
any of your personal beliefs about what qualifies as valid evidence!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">But I really am not trying to persuade you or
anyone else for that matter. I just want to give some counter-arguments for all
readers to make their own judgements. Or to not make any judgements if it
doesn’t interest them enough to do so. </span></div>

Coalition:</span></div>
<h2>
<span style="color: #2e2e2e; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Declaration
signatory count goes over 4,000 </span><span style="color: #2e2e2e; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">(and the number of
traditional authorship believers continues to drop and drop and drop)</span></h2>
<span style="color: #2e2e2e;">It was another good year for adding new
signatories to the <a href="https://shakespeareauthorshipcoalition.cmail19.com/t/r-l-jtjhjlly-yhbhytkh-d/"><span style="color: #662929;">Declaration of Reasonable Doubt</span></a>. The signatory
count went over 4,000 in the spring and continues to grow steadily, reaching
4,161 as of the current update. Other milestones reached in 2018 include
topping 1600 signatories with advanced degrees (694 doctorates, 908 master’s
degrees: 1602 total), and reaching 700 current or former college/university
faculty members. This continues the trend of signers being well educated (77%
college grads, 38.5% with advanced degrees). We also added ten new “Notable”
signatories for a total of 89. The complete list of Notables is shown <a href="https://shakespeareauthorshipcoalition.cmail19.com/t/r-l-jtjhjlly-yhbhytkh-b/"><span style="color: #662929;">here</span></a>.</span><br />
<span style="color: #2e2e2e;">All college graduates and faculty members are
asked to indicate their field. The largest group, both among faculty and all
college graduates, is those in English Literature: 121 faculty and 458 graduates,
579 in total. These are followed by those who said they were in Arts (402),
Theatre Arts (278), Other Humanities (212), Math/Engineering/Computers (204),
Education (200), Law (200), History (197), Other/unspecified (183), Social
Sciences (166), Natural Sciences (165), Medicine/Health Care (152), Psychology
(123), Management (115), and Library Science (42). So virtually all fields are
represented, but English literature predominates.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The argument is often presented that
“almost all serious scholars” “that do regular research in the relevant fields”
etc. etc. are the only ones whose judgement can be accepted, or something to
that effect.</span></div>

counter-argument to this has been something like this:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Even
such serious respected scholars can be wrong individually or even when they are
in broad agreement because they can be conforming with their peers contrary to
supporting evidence, and they can be ignoring minority scholar views for some
unrecognized or unadmitted motivation.</span></div>

profession and a culture and all of your colleagues think certain ways about
certain things, then you're not very likely to challenge that… The exact same
phenomenon happens with geneticists and people who do biotech science. They

in academia, so I know the pressure to embrace the prevailing paradigm and
dismiss facts that don’t fit. I know the rewards you get when you submit and
the punishments you get when you don’t. And I know how easy it is to believe in
your own objectivity while you’re sifting facts to conform to the reward
structure. The unanimity of academics on the authorship question seemed mighty
suspicious to me. It motivated me to check out Oxfordians in their own words
rather than Shapiro’s words.”</span></b></em><em><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-style: normal; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"></span></em></div>

Shakespeare scholars “have any background in historical dialectology” but that
didn’t stop them from making their baseless assertions. So to argue that these
mainstream Shakespeare scholars have the specialized knowledge to make informed
and trustworthy judgements is just false. In fact, it seems to me that it's the
subject matter experts outside of mainstream Shakespeare scholarship that have
pointed out the expert knowledge that the great author somehow had attained
that is unexplained by the traditional model. Now, Prof. Barber didn’t have
that background either but at least she was able to do the research and get the
facts correct according to a genuine subject matter expert.</span></em></div>
