…….who will know that the ideas for this blog were first advanced in……..
…….Stewart Trotter’s 2002 book, Love’s Labour’s Found…..
…….including the theory that Shakespeare was a schoolmaster in Titchfield….
(See Chapters Five and Six of the book: ‘Saints and Sinners’ and ‘The Place Where’)
or,
Shakespeare was a schoolmaster in the country: Titchfield!
‘Local historian’ Groves…….
…….who in 1999 dismissed the whole idea of Shakespeare in Titchfield as…
a completely uncorroborated but pleasant legend
…….has been corroborating the ‘schoolmaster’ idea in the National Press…..
However, in the MailOnline he adds a romantic fantasy all of his own making…..
Sometimes when I’m lying in bed I look up and think how marvellous it is to see the same beams as Shakespeare…..
Dream on, Ken!
Shakespeare died in 1616….
IN VINCULIS INVICTUS!!!
