The End of Stratfordianism
Author Joseph Sobran responds to Prof. Alan Nelson’s Fall 1999 Shakespeare Quarterly review of Alias Shakepseare. Incredibly, in this review Nelson — even as he attempts to scuttle Sobran’s work — concedes that Oxfordians are “winning the public battle” in the authorship debate. SQ, in publishing Nelson’s late review of a 1997 book, was apparently attempting to stem the Oxfordian tide. Sobran, in rebutting SQ and Nelson, may have, in turn, sunk their boat.
