TheKidUpstairs @TheBookHippie thanks! I don't put much stock in the various alternate-author theories, but I do enjoy reading about them! 3y

TheBookHippie @TheKidUpstairs I do too. 3y
GingerAntics Is this one of those conspiracy theory books that posits William Shakespeare couldn‘t possibly have written his plays because he was too poor? 3y
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics more of he plagiarised 😩 I think it ends up he thinks he adapted his plays from others, I‘m half way in ... 3y
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie 🤦🏼♀️ yet clearly his versions are far more popular than the originals, so get over it people. Let‘s be honest, pretty much any book you read, if you read enough other books, you‘re going to find something similar. I think we‘ve long since told all the stories in the 200 millennia we‘ve been around, it‘s all about telling it in a new way. 3y
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics right?! It always intrigues me to read it! 3y
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie from what I can tell it‘s entirely presentist and it‘s absolutely elitist beyond belief. SMH (edited) 3y
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics Yup. I love a good argument 🤣🤷🏽♀️ it is interesting how people present theories. 3y
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I can‘t wait to hear about the unique track this one takes. 3y
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics so far as I can figure the excuse is Shakespeare didn‘t travel to the places in his plays, we will see where it goes... 3y
TheBookHippie So he can‘t have knowledge ?! 3y
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie wow, that almost song phoned in. According to that theory, science fiction doesn‘t work because the author didn‘t go to any of their imaginary worlds. 🤦🏼♀️ SMH Fingers crossed the argument steps it up soon. 3y
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics they are saying he adapted Sir Thomas North writings and life as best as I can tell ... I‘m not buying it yes he could have influenced but as a cook Julia Child influenced me and I adapt and rework her recipes so are they hers or mine ... this seems to be the arguments near as I can grasp so far.

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie influence and intellectual ownership are two completely different things, as you‘ve stated. I‘m sure you‘re recipes are lovely, and Shakespeare was one hell of a storyteller. 3y
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics EXACTLY. Reminds me of people who are jealous, envious. 3y
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie ooooh that‘s a great way to put it!!! 3y
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics I‘m just shaking my head. A couple passages about “Shakespeare enthusiast and loyalist” make us sound like groupies who are idiots and can‘t see it‘s a forgery 😅 3y
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie oh good grief 🤬🤦🏼♀️🥃 3y
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics ha yes 🍷🍷🍷 it‘s my bit of wine plus book before the cooking madness starts it‘ll invigorate me. Ha! 3y
