Anti-Stratfordian who thinks Shakespeare did write his plays but he was from somewhere else
Guy who keeps getting his conspiracy theories mixed up: “William Shakespeare was built by aliens.”
Hahahaha
… seriously though, wouldn’t “he was from somewhere else” erase a significant portion of the whole concept of “Shakespeare did write the plays”
because if i understand correctly…. when we say “Shakespeare did write the plays” what we’re communicating is that we believe they were written by a specific historical figure
whom we…. really know very few things about
like, we know that his name was recorded as William Shakespeare (or a few variant spellings thereof) in a few official documents. We know he was an actor at the Globe. We know he was married, and he wrote a will. Things like that
if we changed his birthplace, that’s a large enough percentage of the tiny bit we know, it might set us well on the way to claiming that historical figure never totally existed
