Quite right. William Stanley was Shakespeare's patron
at one time, knew the man and his work and could quite
easily have been involved in the publication of the sonnets
and the folio. (He is also one of the candidates in the
authorship debate, with better credentials than de Vere, as
it happens.) But why bring Stanley in when the author himself
was available?But who's to say that Shakespeare didn't profit from the
publication? Or, if he didn't, he had plenty of income from
his other business interests for him perhaps not to bother
in this case.Posted by Thersites on April 14, 1997 at 00:40:17
