Like most people, I had a high opinion of academia until I actually entered the academic world as a mature student. I quickly learned many 'facts' were actually opinions and treated with the same infallibility as religious doctrine. I also learned academics are human and subject to same fallibilities as everyone else: lying, cheating, ego, greed etc. To not question history is possibly the most stupid statement I have ever heard.

What do you mean by the Stratford Disneyland? I live here and it's just an ordinary town for the most part, with more than its share of theatres and a few old buildings that tourists like. Oh and a beautiful park by the way, even if you don't care about Shakespeare.

​@@goodlookinouthomie1757 Watch the video again, and try to understand. When you say, it is just an ordinary town, with a lovely park, no-one is going to disagree with you. BUT- ALL the tourists who go to your town are there for one reason. ALL those theatres are there for one reason. ALL those tourist shops selling tourist items are there for one reason. MOST of the teashops and cafes and fast food chains are there for one reason AND THOSE OLD BUILDINGS, that are open to paying tourists are only open to tourist for one reason. The REASON is William Shakespeare. But the TRUTH is that he was PROBABLY NOT born in the place where they sell tickets to his birthplace .... AND that building has been completely rebuilt abd has the buildings on either side added, only 200 years ago, to make more room. It is as real as a Mickey Mouse House. ANNE Hathaways famous cottage, DID NOT BELONG TO HER FAMILY. Shakespeare's mother's farmhouse dud not belongvto his mother. Shakespeare's daughter's husvand's house is mych too modern. Shakespeare's school? No-one knows if he went to school. Shakespearw's plays? What do we KNOW? WE KNOW that the man from Stratford left his older wife and three little kids and went to London where he joined a theatre company. We know that when some plays were published for his theatre company, the printer pit his name on them, but we DO NOT KNOW if he wrote them. But every year, thousands of tourists come to Stratford, just the way they go to Disneyland. We KNOW Disneyland is FAKE but we love the stories. The Birthplace of Shakespeare us just as FAKE, but tourisrs love the story and keep right on visiting, and buying souvenirs, and spending money in your town. THAT is why it is like Disneyland.

@@arealphoney What evidence do you have that Shakespeare was “PROBABLY NOT born in the place”? The house was disassembled, rotted beams were replaced, and it was rebuilt on a (then) modern foundation. Houses on either side were demolished to create a fire break. The SBT documents this on their own website, so nobody is hiding anything. Anne Hathaway was raised in the older parts of Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, which was expanded over the years. So what if she didn’t hold the deed? The formerly named Mary Arden’s Farm was renamed Palmer’s Farm when documents were found identifying the farm next door as the one belonging to Robert Arden. Hall’s Croft was owned by Dr John Hall before he and his wife inherited New Place. It was extensively added to after Hall sold it. All of this is documented on the SBT website, so nobody is hiding anything. The vacant lot where once stood New Place was acquired by the SBT in 1876. If they were such frauds, why didn’t they just build a conjectured house on it as you claim they did on Henley Street? Did he attend the local free school his father, as an alderman, was paying for and hiring teachers for? He learned to write (and therefore to read) somewhere, though his father was wealthy enough to afford private tutors, were he inclined to be wasteful. His peers even described Shakespeare as not being highly educated, and Ben Jonson specifically described Shakespeare as having exactly the level of education one could acquire at an Elizabethan grammar school. And please stop using WE when lying about the existing evidence. What Scholars (and anyone else who cares to look) know about Shakespeare from contemporary documents is a lot more than what a bunch of conspiracy theorists who refuse to acknowledge what is right before them know. The gentleman and actor from Stratford was identified as a poet by at least twenty well-placed contemporaries, many of whom were his close friends and colleagues. We have his handwriting on a play manuscript. He included people, places, and events from Stratford in his plays. The evidence is extensive and compelling, convincing everyone but a handful of crackpots in denial.

Thanks for posting. I have wondered if this was actually the birthplace or not and trying to find a clear answer has been difficult. A few sites on the internet say "may have" or "possibly" but many others, including the Birthplace Trust website, say it is the actual birthplace. This clears it up for me. I visited Stratford-upon-Avon as part of a tour many years ago, but now I feel ripped off and deceived. They have a vested interest in distorting the facts, though I'm sure not alone in doing this, for the tourist trade. But, for shame.

Excellent video. Sadly, the general public suffers from the delusion that "not for profit" organizations are somehow more noble and less suspect than "for profit" organizations. In fact the reverse is often the case. Although "non profits" have no "shareholders" looking for "profit", the "non profits" often have bloated executive hierarchies who profit handsomely in inflated salaries. "Non profits" also usually deal in more abstract subjective values (than say, toothpaste manufacturing) where the kind of fraud this video describes can easily escape scrutiny. The second mass delusion illustrated here is what I call the "George Washington slept here" con game. We should all appreciate antique art and architecture for what it is and place no added value on it because it was maybe "made by" or "lived in by" some famous person or artist. Such attributions have spawned an industry devoted to the production of fakes.

Makes me wonder if Wells' mission in life is to NOT study Shakespeare, after hearing him say in a docu "the plays aren't especially learned". So - is Wells not learned enough to understand the myriad classical references, and is saying therefore they aren't there, so don't go trying to understand them, or letting the meaning of the plays open up? Including Greek ones that were only available in Greek, not translated, at the time, such as Sappho? It's the opposite of what a scholar should ever say or do, this tourist trap shenanigans aside. And if every line reflected the grammar school, would these writings be the most transformative and important in the English language?? How they think these statements make Shakespeare sound like something we should even bother with at all, honestly, I can't imagine.

Very amusing. There are quite a number of buildings in China that are modern reconstructions and most tourists (and tour guides for that matter) are none the wiser. This includes the section of Great Wall most tourists visit in Ba Da Ling. (Just as Stonehenge is a modern reconstruction set in concrete, albeit with the original stones). To see how we have outdone China is actually rather satisfying and now that the Shakespeare Birth Trust are collaborating with China, who are building their own copy of 'Shakespeare's house', it seems fitting. Of course, not understanding CCP psychology or politics the trust probably imagine the project helps glorify Shakespeare but the Chinese are actually doing it in a desperate attempt to elevate their own candidate for world's greatest writer, Tang Xianzu by association with Shakespeare and Cervantes. It's therefore rather ironic that we are getting one over on China by selling them a dud house.

I visited China in 1981 and there was one small section we could visit. After a few years there were a few miles worth. Each time we were allowed to visit a new section, we took the day out and had a picnic. We travelled in 1981 by Trans-Siberian, very basic stuff, the food gradually ran out, and we could get off at the border and watch them changing the bogies in the train shed. Now I see they pay ten times as much for golden train seats and goodness only knows what. We grew up near Stratford and knew that much of it was knocked down before it became a popular tourist spot.

I have had one dealing with the SBT. They display at the Birthplace and on the internet (and sell extremely expensive replicas of) Shakespeare's 'Signet Ring'. This is a gold ring engraved with the letters W and S, entwined by a true lover's knot (which even forms a heart), and surrounded by an outer edge of small knobbles. This is a well known Tudor ring form, of which at least 3 other examples can be seen on the internet and more are known - it is a betrothal ring, the names of the betrothed tied together. In this case Walter and Susan for example. It was purportedly found in a field next to Holy Trinity Church just when 'Shakespeariana' was taking off after Garrick's Festival, and lots of other Shakespeare artefacts were coming to light. I pointed this out to the SBT, with photos of the other similar rings attributed as betrothal rings, and suggested they should at the very least include in their description a caveat that this might be the case. They absolutely refused to recognise even the remotest possibility that this was not 'Shakespeare's Signet Ring'.

@@WolstanDixie "Shakespeare's" signet ring (the one dug up in 1810) IS reversed. A lot of photos of it are reversed so it is "right reading". It's definitely a signet. Probably the reason it's so tantalizing to Shakespeare scholars is due to the signing of the will. As Shakespeare's lawyer hastily shoved the rough draft of his will under his dying hand, he was forced to amend the language. Originally the lawyer had written: "In witness whereof I have hereunto put my hand and seal..." The word "seal" is struck out. Either Shakespeare did not have a seal to put to the document (something both unusual for a man of his station and unlikely that his lawyer would not have known) or when it came time to employ it, it could not be found. It's fun to speculate, but it's literally impossible to know for sure.

I am going to add my usual comment with regard to the Overbury portrait. I will just say that the collar he wears in the Stratford version is Spanish reticular needle lace. The collar is fabulously expensive. It demonstrates the man's extreme wealth like a chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce. It is hard to ovetstate how significant that collar is. The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust MUST KNOW that no reputable art historiab agrees that the portrait is OTHER THAN Overbury. Regardless of what an Auction house might claim. By purchasing, publishing and promoting that portrait of Overbury as Shakespeare, they are not simply misinforming the public, but promoting a fraud.
@Jeffhowardmeade
@Jeffhowardmeade 27 дней назад

​@@Jeffhowardmeade , No. Not at this date in English portraiture. Hypothetically ANY artist could paint ANYbody looking like ANYthing. That is a Junior High School debating team argument. However, if that was done, then it would be seen as extremely presumptuous The evidence of the collar is that this is an extremely rich person. A member of the nobility might have themselves painted in a way that likened them to a Classical hero or deity, e.g. Mars or Diana. At this date, in England, it would be a reference rather than a whole representation.

@@arealphoney So you are claiming that people were painted in exactly the clothes they walked in with? Was there some sort of professional code or guild which demanded this? Or are you assuming that sumptuary laws -- which said nothing whatsoever about accessories like lace -- forbade a mere gentleman and groom extraordinary of the chamber to King James from wearing a fancy collar? If your claim is the former, please recall that Shakespeare's landlord made such accessories, and he could have borrowed one, or maybe worn one from the wardrobe department at the theater he owned. If you don't want a middle school debate, bring something more than middle-school logic and knowledge.

@@Jeffhowardmeade , We have had this conversation before. Making little lace borders and braids is not in the same category as a piece if Spanish reticular needle lace. I have told you it is the equivalent of a Lamborghini. Shakspeare could not borrow it from the shop next door. Socially, it would be considered really impertinent to take on the trappings of the aristocracy, if you were not. No law forbade it. But it was inappropriate. Marlowe was portrayed in bulky jacket to big for the wearer. Both he, and Shakespeare in what may well be genuine portraits, wear the collars appropriate to a well-dressed businessman or scholar. And yes of course any artist could paint any person in any clothes or mznner that the person paying for it stipulated. But I am going to tell you again that this collar, and large bobbin lace collars could not be borrowed from someone who did some tatting and made braid. Because collars like this are seennin portraits of the period, it might be possible to see them as a "norm" .... that is what people wore .... No. I recently went to the Franz Hals exhibition, and observed that the Laughing Cavalier, which we take for granted as being the standard Frans Hals and gentleman if his age, was in fact the most richly dressed of all the men on display. And his wealth, as displayed in his lace, was remarkable. Shakespeare could not have "borrowed" a collar like that.
