It seems that Farey's recent Revelation has
disturbed the preternatural calm in the Garden
of Arden which calm appears to be in the process
of being replaced by bickering and dare I say
bitchiness.
Here's a portion of an exchange from the
Garden of Arden that seems to presage The

Elizabeth,
"Writers" did not insult Alleyn in print, Robert Greene did, within
days of his death, when he had absolutely nothing to lose. It's like
telling off your boss after you win the lottery -- there was no longer
any need for Greene to hold his tongue.
He said what the other writers would have liked to say, but couldn't,

Bob,
Your 3 points:
1. The first is meant as comedy. Good one.
2. As for the second, let me recite the following famous line from a
movie, "Say hello to my leeetle friend!" Okay, who just came to your
mind? Oliver Stone right? It must have been Oliver Stone, because he

As you well know, 'Shake" has several interpretations other than the
one you prefer to give to it.
Correction: The authors of 3H6 - or its precursor - were responsible
for the tyger line. Moreover Alleyn played Richard (Duke of York) in

I was staring at Farey's list taken from

the consistency of the incremental

play, Antony and Cleopatra, deviates from
the order.

I formally studied ideological movements including
romantic ideological movements like Oxfordianism.
These movements don't get their "truths" from
actual evidence, the "truth" is what they affirm
to each other.
When these "truths" are challenged, most of

That's a powerful argument. The evidence

OK, 'dramatically' was too strong. But, on
this I support Peter. My point stands that
he is making a stronger case than you ever
did.
Your phrase " . . just happened . ." suggests chance.
So what is the distinct answer that you've
been claiming to make?
God help us. Poets and playwrights around
1600 were fully aware of these differences.
