What I objected to in Anderson’s awful book is that, so it seemed to me (and I confess I merely listened to the audio edition rather than carefully reading the printed book), all of his connections that tied Oxford to the works is invention, none of it is factual. This is also a weak point of most of the Stratfordian “biographies” of Shakespeare — they paint pictures of guess-work but have so few solid biographical facts. I was extremely impressed with Nelson’s book, which seemed extremely fair-minded and factual. But I would like to know the criticism regarding it and its author — if such has any relevance rather than being merely more catty Oxfordfian wank.
