Actors and poets

[Literature | Link | Print]

Derek Jacobi wrote a foreword for a new Oxfordian biography of Edward de Vere, suggesting that de Vere wrote the plays because the plays were written by an actor and de Vere was an actor.

Say what? The TLS reviewer notes that Shakespeare, alone among all the suggested authors of the plays, was an actor. If the plays were written by an actor, then they were written by Will.
