[CTRL] Unusual book
-Caveat Lector- Of course these days when they screw with the virgin queen they're hoping for a kid named Oscar. Forwarded message Date: Tue, 23 Mar 1999 10:29:47 -0500 From: "Hardy M. Cook" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SHK 10.0512 Re: THINKING, Feeling and Meaning, and Writing [3]- From: Peter Groves [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 23 Mar 1999 11:52:55 +1100 Subject:Re: SHK 10.0493 Re: Acting, Feeling and Meaning, and Writing The matter of being "well educated" depends on how you define that term. No, he didn't go to university, but from what evidence exists of grammar schools, such as the one in Stratford, I doubt that many of my current crop of undergraduates would have been able to hack it in that educational environment. Also, like many other intelligent people, then and now, Shakespeare seems to have read widely (as has been noted in some other recent postings). Reading need not occur only in the classroom. Well said. Incidentally, it is sometimes argued (more in the spirit of a lawyer than a scholar) that no records survive of Shakespeare's attendance at the grammar school, but the fact is that no records survive of anyone's attendance there in that period. And about whether there would be an authorship question...you're probably right. No one argues about whether Marlowe or Sidney wrote those works which have been attributed to them. Or maybe they do and I just am not aware of it? Information, anyone?
