Regrettably, Prof Jane Kingsley-Smith’s (JKS) powerpoint livingroom presentation completely fails to adress the issue under examination of the SAT to promote a justified debate on the WS authorship problem
If 14 out of 38 of the Bards play (as JKS puts it) have a character who is self exiled and banished she amazingly doesn’t even dare to touch the crucial question if this fact has a deeper autobiographical background and reason.
Instead, as a „Stratfordian“ (JKS: „I tend to believe hat Shakespeare is the poet from Stratford…but I can see this kind of recurrent return to this topic … which would point into this direction." )
Wouldn't it be enough to just reflect the play „Pericles“ to arrive at a completely different complementary stance?
