Not necessarily, Art. Some might prefer less Stritmatter and more
Strat-matter, while others might prefer the reVERse; howeVER, all are
agreed upon "no Art."

The reason, Art, that FOA is going DOA is because
resident Strats and Oxfordians have no evidence to
post.

I believe that Farey has expressed his uncertainty
about whether or not Bacon was using the
pseudonym "M. LeDoux." Farey's discovery
of the trunk in the Anthony Bacon Collection
at Lambeth Palace, a trunk which contained
Bacon's books including books that were
sources for the Shakespeare works, is a marvelous
find, it would have made headlines had the trunk
contained some relic of Shaksper's.
I remember all the excitement when excavators
in London dug up Shaksper's bong.
There's an extant letter in which Bacon writes
that he has lost some papers on the Continent
(he may have specified Italy), but he's elated
to find that the materials had unexpectedly
arrived, so he's now preparing to take up where
he left off.
I don't know if it's the same trunk or not.

I maintain that I have always been honorably

Locally, a thirteen year old boy crammed sparklers

and his friends were taken to the hospital.

Don't you mean "To find you're dissed by honorable Groves," Art?
But I'm surprised at you, Art -- you neglected the other references
to the Colossus, in _Troilus and Cressida_ and in _1 Henry IV_.

I am not 'certain'. However, I believe that it explains what

I have never heard it suggested that "M. LeDoux" was a
pseudonym for Bacon. As far as I know, the only person
whose identity that name has been thought to conceal is
Christopher Marlowe.
The only uncertainty I recall expressing is whether the
things listed as being contained in 'le coffre de Mr le
Douz' belonged to him (as Dolly Wraight and I thought
originally) or to Anthony Bacon. (MS.656 f.184r/v)

What I found was a list (different to the one mentioned
above) entitled "Cathologue des liures de Mr le Douz".
It listed books in Latin, Italian, French and Spanish,
several of which were known to have been used as sources
by Shakespeare, and which (by the price noted against
each of them) Anthony Bacon seemed to have bought from
Le Doux. (MS.655 ff.185r/v, 186)

By 'Bacon', I take it that you mean Anthony. If what
you say is true, this has the potential to be very int-
eresting indeed. I hesitate to ask, but is there any
chance of you providing some further information
which might help me to locate this letter?

This is a quote on a similar topic -
(quote, excerpts)
in the summer of 1582, at which time Francis Bacon was studying law in
Gray's Inn,
while Anthony was travelling in France in search of political
intelligence and was in close correspondence with Nicholas Faunt,
a secretary of Sir Francis Walsingham's, who had spent the previous
year in France, Germany, Switzerland, and the north of Italy, on the
same errand;
and was now living about the English Court, studying affairs at home,
and collecting and arranging the observations which he had made
abroad,
'having already recovered all his writings and books which he had left
behind him in Italy and in Frankfort' (see Birch's 'Memoirs,' I. 24),
and it is remembered that if this paper belonged to Anthony Bacon, it
would naturally descend at his death to Francis and so remain among
his manuscripts, where it is supposed to have been found.

Why are you bringing Lynne into this, Art? At least she knows what
a primary source *is*, and has read a few -- that's more than one can
say of the bumbling "A source is a source/Of course, of course"
approach of certain of her less acute coreligionists.
> (and less than kind).
Certainly it is kind, Art -- indeed, I regard Peter as a sort of
honorary Stratfordian, just as I regard lacksanity as an honorary anti-
Stratfordian.
And I don't see how you can deny that sanity is a rarity among anti-
Stratfordians based upon the evidence available from this newsgroup,
Art -- after all, h.l.a.s. anti-Stratfordians have (among many other
comic claims) championed "ether theory" as an alternative to special
relativity (while simultaneously claiming that the latter theory was
"plagerized [sic],") claimed that AIDS is "a hoax," dismissed the
Apollo lunar landing as a crude NASA-fabricated hoax, boasted of
having "solved" Fermat's Last Theorem, rhapsodized about the
(nonexistent) Franck Organ Symphony, asserted that "vier" means "four"
in Spanish, extolled certain supposedly marvelous properties of the
number nineteen that are in fact shared by all odd natural numbers,
championed the "aquatic apes" theory of primate evolution, insisted
that John Edward does talk to the dead, pronounced the "Ray Mignot"
sonnet genuine, affirmed that Old English was still spoken as late as
the nineteenth century in some shires (and on the Moon in the
twentieth century), promulgated the insane word-salad of a paranoid
schizophrenic as "history for grownups," announced (in a forum with
international readership) the supposed death of a distinguished
scholar because another man a quarter century younger who shares the
same surname and given name (but not the same middle initial, age,
place of residence, or profession) perished, pronounced the
impossibility of "decent" literature from South America, warned of the
peril of the imminent Mexican "reconquista" of the American southwest,
lovingly restored to the text of _Hamlet_ the missing instances of
flatulence, situated Caxton chronologically as Shakespeare's
contemporary, and offered "exegeses" of Shakespeare's sonnets as
records of a royal crapping competition -- moreover, *each* of
"Buckeye Pete," Paul Streitz, Paul Crowley, Little Willie, Richard
Kennedy, "Dr." Faker, Stephanie Caruana, Okay Fine, gangleri, and
Elizabeth Weird deserves an entire paragraph to himself or herself at
the length of the above! See
for a most entertaining summary.
When one adds the nuttiness of other anti-Stratfordians who do not
participate in h.l.a.s. (those who jump upon the Woolsack in
Parliament shouting "Treason!", those who identify various modern
European nations as the lost tribes of Israel, those who "research"
history by means of seances, the crank Baconian ciphermongers of
yesteryear, etc.), the case for the scarcity of sanity among anti-
Stratfordians becomes stronger still. Peter is a noteworthy exception
indeed.
> > Art Neuendorffer wrote:
> >>
> >> Then why is he so certain that Marlowe wrote Shakespeare?
Certain?! I've neVER heard Peter express the certainty that is the
hallmark of cranks like Crowley and Elizabeth Weird. Rather, he has
worked out a scenario that intrigues him, which he has explored
further and offered as a possibility. Moreover, Peter, unlike a great
many anti-Stratfordians, is not immune to correction, and he does not
deny readily verifiable facts or dismiss all evidence that doesn't
support a particular pet monomaniacal _idée fixe_ as forgeries or
Masonic fakes.

Indeed, it seems a pity that Peter didn't place his article in a
venue that enjoys both wider circulation and a better reputation for
sound scholarship; but perhaps he was in a hurry to get it into print.

*You* wrote an article that appeared in _The Marlovian_, Art??!!

dealing with authorship seems very unlikely to be vulnerable to the

I haven't observed Lynne being unkind. I do recall her being
justifiably upset that a moron who admits that he doesn't even know
what a primary source is and who moreoVER had not even read the
pertinent Kositsky-Stritmatter articles began attacking Kositsky and
Stritmatter for plagiarism of Volker Multhopp's idiotic piece, but
that scarcely counts as unkindness.

You prove my point _ipso facto_, Art -- many (if not most) anti-
Stratfordians merely deny inconvenient facts and dismiss all evidence
that doesn't support their particular monomaniacal _idée fixe_ as
forgeries or Masonic fakes, as you have just done.

"Schlock" isn't a VERb, Art. And I'm mildly surprised (but
pleased) that you would use the noun in reference to _The Oxfordian_,
which does qualify under the OED definition of "schlock": "Cheap,
shoddy, or defective goods; inferior material, junk,..."

No; _Shakespeare Matters_ can be funnier still -- it is the tabloid
of print Oxfordian venues.

Of course not, Art -- I wouldn't waste money that way. (Nor would

I am not in contact with Dave More; indeed, I cannot recall his

The VERy fact that Lynne would probably agree with you
on that score is why she is not always "kind."

Odds of picking 5 letters at random out of the 144 in the dedication
and getting *HIRAM* are 10/144 * 14/143 * 9/142* 5/141 * 2/140
or about 1 in 4.6 million. There are 2520 5-letter slots in the
arrays, and since Rollett allowed words to appear reading either
up or down, there are in effect 5040 places to search for *HIRAM*.
.
. The chance of finding *HIRAM* somewhere
. in some array is thus about 1 in 909.

Christopher Knight & Robert Lomas, The Hiram Key:
<<Refusing to divulge the secrets of his craft, *HIRAM receives a
violent blow on his forehead* which drops him to his left knee. At
that point in the story, the candidate receives a light blow to his
temples and is pressed to the ground by two deacons to his left knee.
The story where *HIRAM* seeks to escape by the west gate and is struck
with another blow. The candidate goes down on his right knee. At the
east gate, the third ruffian "struck him a *violent blow full in the
center of the forehead* with a heavy stone maul, which laid him
lifeless at his feet. Such was he manner of his death."
"In the light of the candle I saw the Worshipful Master reach forward
over his pedestal with an instrument which touched my forehead and I
felt many hands pulling me backwards to the floor. I was held straight
and my feet were kept in place, so that I hinged backwards as I swung
into the darkness. As I touched he ground a funeral shroud was
immediately draped around me, so only my upper face was uncovered.">>

a DOOR-NAIL. I might have been inclined, myself, to
regard a coffin-nail as the deadest piece of ironmongery

is in the simile; and my unhallowed hands
shall not disturb it, or the Country's done for. You
will therefore permit me to repeat, emphatically, that
Marley was as dead as a DOOR-NAIL.

Has it occurred to you that the expression 'As dead as a door nail' is
an anagram of 'As dead as a rood nail' - a nail of the true cross -

Art Neuendorffer
No, I responded to an invitation from the journal's new editor,
Michael Egan (who thinks Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare but who
considers the authorship question to be a legitimate one) to
contribute a piece providing an updated review of the case for
Marlowe.
As I understand it, his intention is to assemble a collecton of
essays representing various authorship viewpoints, and not only
the most familiar ones. The editorial process I am going through
with him (if applied throughout) should ensure that the journal's
reputation for 'sound scholarship' is somewhat enhanced.
Personally, I think it is an excellent idea, and I'm amazed that
nobody had thought of doing it before. Summaries of the various
arguments like those of John Michell are OK in their way, but
simply cannot cover the latest thinking on the subject that the
proponents themselves can provide.
I've just been reading that Pope Pius XII considered
Evolution to be a legitimate concept in 1950 but that it took
Pope John Paul II to confirm Evolution as a proven fact.
I suspect that the Shakespeare Quarterly would have
rejected your paper with extreme prejudice; don't you.

I don't doubt that *The Oxfordian* has sound scholarship but does
it really have a 'reputation' outside of the Oxfordian community?

You mean, you think it *reasonable* for a moron who doesn't know
what a primary source is and hasn't even read the paper to accuse the
authors of plagiarism (or "plagerism") when the moron in question
doesn't even know what's in their paper, let alone what sources they
used?! You underscore my point about the rarity of sanity among your
coreligionists, Art.

Do you recall my remark about your nutcase sources, Art? You again
prove my point _ipso facto_. Knight and Lomas claim to have
identified the "historical" Hiram Abif (as though there was one!)
because an Egyptian mummy has a head injury! There is wishful
thinking (of the usual Oxfordian variety) and there is barking mad
wishful thinking (of the Elizabeth Weird variety); _The Hiram Key_
unquestionably falls into the latter category.

The title suggests that the article is asinine astrology rather
than your more customary crackpot cryptography or nutcase numerology,
Art -- is that correct? In any case, I am astonished that you managed
to get any statement of your position on paper in a coherent enough
fashion that it could actually be published, Art -- did you try
sending a copy to Lehigh? Maybe the admissions committee would

It would be surprising if I hadn't made use of information and
argument that I had used before. In this case, however, for the
reason you give above, the readership is assumed to consist
mainly of people who are already prepared to accept the like-
lihood of someone other than Shakespeare having written 'his'
works, although relatively blinkered as to just who the most
logical alternative might be.

I am well aware of that fact, Art, and it is completely
irrelevant. Marlowe's demise is utterly unrelated to the point that
the authors of _The Hiram Key_ are delusional lunatics if they believe
that, because they have found a description of mummy with a head
injury, they have found the historical Hiram Abif -- to leap to that
conclusion is as moronic as concluding, from some dead wood found on
Mt. Ararat, that one has found an authentic piece of Noah's Ark.
Incidentally, Art, have you noted that the estate in Kent to which
Ingram Frizer moved (after receiving numerous tokens of the Crown's
favor) is called Eltham -- an anagram of "Hamlet"? Surely this must
be "evidence" to you of a deep Masonic conspiracy at work!

I do indeed. In this instance, I am curious to learn whether a

But surely it's on your hard drive or somewhere in your files,
Art. Mr. Streitz keeps sending me material unbidden (rather
amusingly, it is addressed to me in care of the English Department --
Mr. Streitz was neVER VERy quick on the uptake -- but eventually it
finds its way to me anyway), as does someone whom I presume to be
Richard Whalen; surely you can send me your paper in response to a

I didn't. Do at least try to learn to read English, Art -- not
many interesting texts are available in your native COBOL.

Indeed, I would be surprised to find any reputable library that did,
although there may be a few libraries that would give the publication
shelf space if a subscription were donated.

"We"? Who is "we," Art? But I am impressed -- if you know Faker's
jail address (for that matter, if you even know that he *is* in jail),
then you have kept in closer touch with your fellow loonies than I
would have guessed. What is "Buckeye Pete" doing these days, Art? I
know, of course, that Stephanie Caruana and Paul Streitz have gone on
to more fulfilling and more conspicuous forms of lunacy, but I've lost
track of PWDBard. But if you *are* in touch with "Dr." Faker, then
the least you could do is to find someone willing to host his web page
to insure that all those uproariously funny essays (my favorite is the
one on "E=mc^2") are not lost to posterity. The material needs to be
safely archived as soon as possible!

<<Frizer was found on June 1, 1593 to be not guilty of murder for
reasons of self defense. On the June 28, the Queen granted Frizer a
formal pardon. A few years later when James I of England ascended the
throne, Frizer received numerous benefices from the crown, through the
action of Audrey Walsingham (Thomas' wife and a friend of James'
Queen, Anne of Denmark). He moved to an estate in Eltham, Kent, where
he lived until his death.>>

<<The borough of Greenwich lies along the south bank of the River
Thames between *Deptford* and Thamesmead. Because of the shape of the
river, the waterfront is extremely long. Travelling south away from
the waterfront, the ground swiftly rises: *Shooters Hill* in the east
and the high ground of Blackheath in the west bookend the borough,
*Eltham* to the south of these hills falls away slightly.>>
-----------------------------------------------------
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eltham_Palace
<<Eltham Palace is a large house in Eltham, within the London Borough
of Greenwich, South East London, England. The original palace was
given to Edward II in 1305 by the Bishop of Durham, Anthony Bek, and
used as a royal residence from the 14th to the 16th century.
According to one account the incident which inspired Edward III's
foundation of the Order of the Garter took place here.
As the favourite palace of Henry IV it played host to Manuel II
Palaiologos, the only Byzantine emperor ever to visit England, from
December 1400 to January 1401, with a joust being given in his honour.
There is still a jousting tilt yard. Edward IV built a Great Hall in
the 1470s, and Prince Henry also grew up here; it was here that he met
and impressed the scholar Erasmus. Tudor courts often used the palace
for their Christmas celebrations. With the grand rebuilding of
Greenwich Palace, which was more easily reached by river, Eltham was
less frequented, save for
Great Hall, the hunting in its enclosed parks, easily reached from
Greenwich, "as well enjoyed, the Court lying at Greenwiche, as if it
were at this house it self". The deer remained plentiful in the Great
Park, of 596 acres (2.4 km2), the Little, or Middle Park, of 333 acres
(1.3 km2), and the Home Park, or Lee Park, of 336 acres (1.4 km2).
In the 1630s, by which time the palace was no longer used by the royal
family, Sir Anthony van Dyck was given the use of a suite of rooms as
a country retreat. During the English Civil War, the parks were
denuded of trees and deer. John Evelyn saw it 22 April 1656: "Went to
see his Majesty's house at Eltham; both the palace and chapel in
miserable ruins, the noble wood and park destroyed by Rich the rebel".
The palace never recovered. Eltham was bestowed by Charles II on John
Shaw and— in its ruinous condition, reduced to Edward IV's Great Hall,
the former buttery, called "Court House", a bridge across the moat and
some walling— remained with Shaw's descendants as late as 1893.>>

I know, Art; I was also the one who told you about Eltham/Hamlet.
But as I've said many times before, while it is poor form to explain a
joke, sometimes (e.g., when one's interlocutor is a moron) it simply
cannot be helped.

Try to focus what's left of your mind upon the point as issue, Art;
I know it's tough for you to engage in a battle of wits when you find
yourself so completely unarmed, but I'll take it easy on you. The
question is: is Knight and Lomas a nutcase source? The answer is
clearly affirmative: they believe that, because they have found
reference to an Egyptian mummy with a head injury, that mummy must be
the remains of the legendary Hiram Abif. This is delusional lunacy,
for seVERal reasons: first, there is no sound reason to believe that
Hiram Abif eVER existed in the first place, or that he is anything
other than a figure of legend; claiming to have identified Hiram Abif
is a bit like dressing Rush Limbaugh in a red suit and claiming to
have found Santa Claus -- and if you still believe in Santa Claus,
Art, then I deeply regret having disillusioned you. Second, Knight
and Lomas furnish the reader with no reason whateVER -- other than the
self-delusion that characterizes the "research" of the authors -- to
believe that their mummy is the only case in history of death from a
head injury, hence must perforce be the remains of Abif -- I realize,
of course, that their "argument" may seem compelling to a moron who
believes that there could not possibly more than one person on the
planet named Peter Gay (or Anne Hathaway), but to the sane such
"reasoning" is ludicrous.

That's right, Art -- although I must warn you that "buttery" is
used here in a sense to which you, as a demented Oxfordian, are
probably unaccustomed, since on Oxford's estate, the word referred to
Cogno's sleeping quarters.

I find this amazing, Art. I still have either reprints or
preprints (and certainly the original manuscript) of eVERy paper that
I have eVER published; in the case of papers dating from later than
1990, when computerized typesetting became the norm, I still have both
the TeX source and the .pdf file. Do you mean to tell me that you
have NO record whateVER of your article?! It seems to have
disappeared as inscrutably as all the "evidence" that Oxfordians

No, you didn't. You gave me only the title and a précis suggesting

How Moby Shakespeare Took Over the Internet
http://www.opensourceshakespeare.org/info/moby_shakespeare.php
<<Moby Shakespeare was fixed in 1995 and released into the public
domain (Ward). There is nothing horribly wrong with Moby, from a
general reader’s standpoint. It uses modern, regularized spelling,
which scholars may not favor, but an average person would rather not
be impeded with archaic spellings, many of which are tied to
seventeenth-century typography. The original authors conflated the
quarto and folio texts into a critical edition, so readers are not
faced with competing versions of the same play. But primarily, Moby
Shakespeare is ubiquitous because it’s free.
Why aren’t there other public-domain Shakespeares, or at least texts
that the public can use freely? There are, but for various reasons
they are not as popular. Bartleby.com has the 1914 Oxford Shakespeare
on its site, but you cannot easily download the texts and manipulate
them, the way you can with Moby, and they are not public-domain
(Craig). Other collections do not contain all of the works. There is a
project called Nameless Shakespeare, produced by Northwestern
University and Tufts University, but it is copyright-protected (even
though it is based on the later edition of Globe Shakespeare,
published in 1891-3 and thus also in the public domain). Users are
authorized to download XML versions of the texts, but only for
personal, non-commercial use. All other uses are controlled by the
owner ( Berry). At this writing, the prototype interface for *Nameless
Shakespeare* is “ clunky and inconsistent” in the creators’ own words,
and they are going to deploy a more elegant interface in the near
future. Until then, it will probably not be widely used, although the
Java search applet is impressively powerful.
The Internet Shakespeare Editions is the closest anyone has come to
duplicating Moby, and you can download the texts of the plays for non-
profit use. But as the texts use the original spelling, and are
essentially diplomatic editions of the folio and quarto texts with
very little editing applied to them, they are intended for a scholarly
audience.
Only a small number of plays have been refereed, though all have been
proofread (Best, “Internet”). Perhaps someday, a group of individuals
will produce a modern, scholarly, free alternative to Moby
Shakespeare. The deck is stacked against it, however. For one thing,
the amount of labor involved in producing this critical edition of
the text would be huge – not insurmountable, but more than one or two
people would be willing to undertake (Clark and Wright lived in the
days before desktop publishing and vast educational subsidies, and
they could read a much larger percentage of Shakespearean scholarship
because there was less of it.)
Also, such a free edition, while superior to Moby Shakespeare, would
not necessarily be that much of an improvement. All of the
“competitive” modern collections have annotations, glossaries,
detailed introductions to the play, etc. A free edition would almost
certainly have to include such things to expand its audience and
eclipse any other versions.
One might hope that some publisher somewhere would make its text, if
not free, at least more widely available online. It seems unsporting
to take someone else’s work and make money from it in perpetuity –
even if that person has been dead for centuries. True, scholarly
editions are not mere reprints, and are the result of many hours of
hard work, but the reason people read and study the editions’ texts is
not because of the glosses on the pages, but because Shakespeare wrote
the texts. But since publishers can sell their products in quantity to
schools and students, and the resulting revenue subsidizes other, less
popular works, it seems unlikely that a major edition will ever be
released to the public in any useable form, at least not for free and
not in its entirety.>>

I'm eVER your well-wisher, Art. Besides, as I have said before,
one can lead a horse -- or in your case, the hindquarters thereof --
to water, but you can't make him think. The Grand Master deems such
tidbits as I deign to REVeal to you harmless, as you lack the capacity
to integrate them into any coherent theory.

On the contrary -- in many cases, I have had to resort to making
more photocopies of the original preprint because I have already given
away all the reprints.

Keeping both the TeX source and the .pdf or .dvi file of a
published paper is a pretty routine practice among those who publish
regularly, Art, as you would know if you had eVER done so. Since the
material will all fit easily onto a memory stick the size of a AA
battery, only an idiot would *not* back up his files in this manner --
like yourself, for instance.

No, Art; "memento moron" was correct, as you just demonstrated.
The golden ratio, an algebraic number of degree two over the rational
field, is *NOT* pi, which is transcendental. This is on a par with
your REVelations concerning the number nineteen.

Of course not, Art! How many times must I remind you: One can
lead a horse -- or in your case, the hindquarters thereof -- to water,
but you can't make him think. Matters being so, I am unlikely to
engage in the Sisyphean task of trying to bring you into the prOXimity

You don't have to convince me of that, Art; howeVER, the golden
ratio phi is NOT transcendental: being the root of a quadratic
equation with rational coefficients, it is about as far from
transcendental as possible, short of actually being rational.

First, as has pointed out to you before, Art, Oxford was scarcely a
"gay lord"; indeed, he incurred the wrath of the Queen for
impregnating one of her ladies in waiting, and his debauchery with a
notorious Italian courtesan was also apparently well known. There is
evidence that Oxford was a pederast, but that it a VERy different
matter. MoreoVER, if Oxford did indeed conceal his authorship of the
Shakespeare canon under a pseudonym, then he was anything but frank!
Here one finds yet another of your nutcase numerological REVelations
concerning the number nineteen.

You are talking utter rubbish as usual, Art -- how could I possibly
check out material that I have already told you that my library does
*not* possess?!
Would you please request a copy from Dave More and send it to me?

Bush said himself that he was "misunderestimated"; surely such a
Presidential neologism may be adapted to coVER both his and your
misundereducation.

A view of FoA -
(quote)
January 13, 2009
For anyone who is interested:
There is a one-per-week discussion of Shakespeare’s sonnets at the
Google Group “Forest of Arden.” They are currently doing number
sixteen.
It seems they got the idea from the Usenet group
“humanities.lit.authors.shakespeare”, where these discussions used to
take place. “Forest of Arden” was founded by the combined disaffected
forces of hlas and the Shakespeare Fellowship, who wanted a moderated
forum where they could discuss “alternate Shakespeare authorship”
without being, as they felt, harassed by people who care about the
historical truth.
(There’s an argument to be made that the partisans of the forest
themselves harassed the participants of hlas until the latter had
become useless, but what’s done is done. Another oddity is that there
are those who compare “alternate authorship studies” to Holocaust
denial -- granted, this is an overstatement based on an emotional
reaction that puts all politically motivated denials of the scholarly
consensus on an equal level -- and yet many of the longstanding
members of the Shakespeare Fellowship are outspoken Jews. Go figure.
Indeed, both sides, in hlas, often attacked Jewish participants on
grounds that they had not sufficiently disallied themselves from a
group that was morally equivalent to Nazism. In any event, “Forest of
Arden” is now run to the satisfaction of both the cranks and the
credentialless people who take it upon themselves to keep the cranks
in line. Here’s an example of the kind of argumentation you can find
among those who describe themselves as “Oxfordians,” regarding the
dropoff in interest in Shakespeare among British teachers since the
requirement for fourteen year-olds to study Shakespeare was dropped.
Yes, they annoyed the heck out of me.)
