Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage
Drew “Dr.C” Clinkenbeard asks If you could get an answer to one (or two) questions from any of your episodes, what would it be? in other words, what is one unsolved mystery you’d crack? (The Everest episode made me think about this)
The question I would be interested in resolving is the authorship of Shakespeare’s works.
I’ve read more on the subject since I recorded the episode, and it is shocking just how little evidence there is that the man from Stratford-on-Avon wrote the works that we attribute to him.
Almost everything we think we know about Shakespeare has no evidence to support it. Almost all of it is based on supposition.
This isn’t a conspiracy. There wasn’t anyone trying to cover up the truth.I think it is the greatest case of misattribution because someone used a pen name and wanted to keep their identity secret.
