Looney's Razor

The personality observable in Shakespeare's work is altogether out of relationship with what is taught of the reputed author and the facts of his career.

[Looney's Razor @Looneys_Razor]

Today, let's talk Stratfordian chronology. From the age of 13, Stratford man's father cannot leave the house, and thus William's labour is needed to keep his younger siblings fed. Then in 1582-3, he adds three more mouths to the household. Then, we are told, he abandons them,

@wordorigins My mate Oming invented that joke.

Wyoming? It is TERRIBLE.

[Looney's Razor @Looneys_Razor]

Oxford's paid instrument. The one before Stratford man.

Remember, the Archbishop of Canterbury himself licensed the publication of V&A, which is Elizabethan soft-porn, and it appoints an Earl as its godfather.

@allthefrensy The shortened link is malfunctioning.

[Looney's Razor @Looneys_Razor]

@deveresocietyuk 1.5 to 2.5 decades later, Stratford man arrives in London. Acquires this book & the playscript of Ur-Hamlet & writes a masterpiece.

Or maybe the whole "Ur" theory is just an invention to cover the obviously chronological problem for Stratfordians.

[Looney's Razor @Looneys_Razor]

Wonderous William!

This is the best explanation yet of how Stratford man acquired the means, motive and opportunity to write V&A and get the Archbishop of Canterbury to license its publication.

[Looney's Razor @Looneys_Razor]

@alacrates @AldousAsterion As for the identification of Cardano's Comforte as the book in Hamlet, see: https://t.co/mn9n0VJ58v

Incidentally, it would already be 20-25 yrs old when Stratford man gets to London. One wonders how he happened upon a copy of it AND the play script of "Ur-Hamlet".

Sarcasm off.

[Looney's Razor @Looneys_Razor]

Starting around 1:44: In V&A, blood creates the meleagris flower. It is iconic of Oxford. It is AKA narcissus, linking it to SOTON. And the meleagris genus of birds includes a species called Penelope.

All purely coincidental, I am sure.

@PouncerNC @deveresocietyuk He is such a ridiculous troll, and will say absolutely anything, no matter how random or nonsensical, in hopes of getting a response. Sad, really. My enjoyment of Twitter doubled the day I muted him.

Pity there isn't a souvenir wool carder.

The thimble commemorates Shakespeare and his hometown of Stratford-Upon-Avon. They are also very useful gifts for sewers or embroiderers

@sammy_mendel @PouncerNC @SmileyBlanton @omniadeo No, I mean the sonnets referencing self-effacement. Read them.

FFS: because he wanted to publish it under a witty pseudonym instead.

I am tired of your disingenuousness.

Good bye.

[Looney's Razor @Looneys_Razor]

What is the Stratfordian explanation for when and why Wonderous William decided to change the spelling of the family name for Venus & Adonis and Lucrece...and then abandon it. Only for his great friends Heminges and Condell to go back to it?

[Looney's Razor @Looneys_Razor]

@sammy_mendel @PouncerNC @SmileyBlanton @omniadeo Maybe there were more important things going on in 1650.

Everyone personally involved being dead could also be a factor.

[Looney's Razor @Looneys_Razor]

@sammy_mendel @PouncerNC @SmileyBlanton @omniadeo Acquaint yourself with the Sonnets, especially those dealing with self-effacement.

[Looney's Razor @Looneys_Razor]

@sammy_mendel @PouncerNC @SmileyBlanton @omniadeo FFS: Nothing by Sidney was published in his lifetime.

Whatever "leak them to publishers under his name" is supposed to mean, I can't image why you think that is an obvious thing to do instead of using a clever, witty pseudonym.

[Looney's Razor @Looneys_Razor]

@sammy_mendel @PouncerNC @SmileyBlanton @omniadeo V&A and Lucrece were PUBLISHED by the author.

[Looney's Razor @Looneys_Razor]

@sammy_mendel @PouncerNC @SmileyBlanton @omniadeo I cannot cope with your duplicity.

Sidney became a "national hero" by dying, so it has nothing to do with him letting others read his work.

And he published nothing.

And as you know, de Vere did circulate his work in select circles, including having it performed at court.

[Looney's Razor @Looneys_Razor]

@sammy_mendel @PouncerNC @SmileyBlanton @omniadeo And making William Shakespeare a motely to the view would have been anti-theatre.

By "Sydney", so you mean Philip Sidney? He published nothing. It wasn't done. And he was on a very low rung of the aristocracy.

[Looney's Razor @Looneys_Razor]

@sammy_mendel @omniadeo @PouncerNC @SmileyBlanton He did. Via his pseudonym, William Shakespeare.

[Looney's Razor @Looneys_Razor]

@sammy_mendel @PouncerNC @SmileyBlanton @omniadeo They - the two kings you mentions.

cherised entertainments - the plays of Shakespear.

made motley to the view - brought into disrepute to the amusement of common folk.

[Looney's Razor @Looneys_Razor]

@sammy_mendel @PouncerNC @SmileyBlanton @omniadeo Because they did not want one of their cherished entertainments made a motley to the view.

[Looney's Razor @Looneys_Razor]

@sammy_mendel @omniadeo @PouncerNC @SmileyBlanton "Why did they have to code it"
Because that is what de Vere wanted, and after his death, that is what the King and the Herberts wanted.
