A collection of useful things from all over
Evidence for Shakespeare may never satisfy the The Flat Shakespeare Society but there is, however, more than enough to satisfy the needs of attribution. That is always the first point to be made. We have six witnessed signatures (though one is barely legible), three on his will in which the legatees include three members of his acting troupe. We have three pages of manuscript in his hand. When science can de-attribute a Gauguin based of one majuscule in one signature, the Shakespeare signatures we have–the exemplars (the manuscript is the sample—also enough)–will do the job. Then the are the hundreds of items of tangible evidence listed in the Folger, all the advanced stylometry, the monument, the eulogies, the title pages and the contemporary references combine to eliminate the possibility for any disguised alternative working in the background, hidden by fantastically improbable conspiracy theories.
