William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
Harold,
You're gonna love this. Even the Huffington Post is astounded, asking, "Are you for real?"
Apparently,
the bastards responsible for this abomination of a theory are very
much for real. Shakespeare is now a Jewess, an egalitarian, and a
feminist. You were right again, Harold. I recall you predicted this some
months ago. Your prophesy thing is getting really creepy.
I read in 1984 about reality control. I guess this is reality control in action.
Which brings us to Aemilia Bassano Lanyer (1569-1645), best known
outside academic circles as a candidate for the Dark Lady of the
Sonnets. Lanyer was one of the first English women to publish a book of
poetry, described by one Lanyer scholar as arguing for "women's
religious and social equality."
Not content with making
Shakespeare a faggot and his dark lady another man, he's now being
usurped by a Jewish feminist and egalitarian who supposedly wrote or
edited his plays for him. After all, he was just a male white trash
hick, and the very idea that he could do anything useful or memorable is
inconceivable to the left wing intelligentsia.
That this woman
was neither a feminist, an egalitarian or in any way, shape or form a
Jew, is of course irrelevant and ignored, except by the writer of the
article. Whose job would be in danger if he weren't himself a Jew.
This Lev Raphael guy, the author of the article, is a Jew himself,
and writes, "historical and creative fiction" about child Holocaust
survivors. What a lovely guy to be around.
Moving along. That
this Lanyer woman, supposedly Shakespeare's Dark Jewess, even wrote a
text comparing Jews to wolves who bit and tore at Jesus is neither
here nor there. That it is her father who was allegedly Jewish, and that
Jewish lineage is matrilineal, is also conveniently ignored. That she
was raised and educated among Protestants, and that her "study of the
Talmud" is almost impossible given there was only one copy in Britain at
the time, is of course irrelevant. The Huff Post is generally woeful,
but this particular article is actually rather interesting. It
completely tears apart the argument that Shakespeare was a Jew.
[Note: Jews were expelled from England by Edward the First in the year 1290 and could not reside there legally and openly again until the ban was revoked by Oliver Cromwell in 1653. - HAC]
I
can guess why this heeb was given the job of writing it - if they let a
goy write such a provocative article, the Jews would crucify them. Or
perhaps this Jew actually has some integrity, and is utterly oblivious
to the fact that his editor only let the article get past him on account
of Lev's ethnicity and religion. There are quite a few Jews like that,
though not nearly enough to invalidate the stereotype, I'm sorry to say.
The driving force behind Lanyerism is John Hudson, a graduate of the
Shakespeare Institute at the University of Birmingham whose biography is
hard to pin down since it's never described the same way when he's
interviewed or profiled. He sounds like a cross between a social
theorist and a media consultant and is currently a
"scholar-in-residence" of a New York theater company dedicated to his
take on Shakespeare. His John the Baptist seems to be Toronto Globe and Mail reporter Michael Posner, who covered Hudson twice before writing the Reform Judaism story.
In
a saner world, this'd be a fluff story. A chance to chuckle at an
idiot. Alas, this simply isn't the case, which is to be expected, given
the involvement of Jews and an amoral Shabbas Goy like this Hudson
character.
Unfortunately he's serious and gaining ground. Shakespeare scholar
David Bevington recently told me he's now getting asked about the Lanyer
theory when he does lectures, and readers of the Reform Judaism
story have told me they were convinced Lanyer wrote the plays, or at
least shaken in their belief that Shakespeare was their author.
I'll
leave the Cliff Notes version to you if you want to send it out, as
I've a pounding headache and you're way better at these things than I
am.
Okay, obligatory, "Oh God Harold, Look what they're doing to us now!' I get it, I get it.
I
just know you greatly admire the Bard and thought this might interest
you. Whatever muppet was dumb enough to write this highly critical
article tears apart the Jewish Female Shakespeare theory quite
thoroughly.
