Talking with Geir Uthaug about The Battle for Shakespeare's Identity 

I'm so glad to have been introduced to Geir Uthaug. Thank you for shining some light on him.

A Delightful and thoughtful interview - Thank you Geir & SOF … 🇳🇴🙏🏼

It's difficult to imagine what it's like for Geir, being one of the few Oxfordians in his country. We rely so much on peer support to deal with the true believers.

So I immediately looked through my books to find the Minerva Britanna title page engraving (page 366 of Mark Anderson’s Shakespeare by Another Name) - AND YES! I see how that could be Castle Hedingham. Good eye! Best of luck to the author and looking forward to the English translation.

I look forward to buying and reading his English translation of his book. In regards to his final comments on the Author's suffering, I'd add that he not only had to bequeath his works to posterity with no attribution of his own name attached to them, but he had to assist in the Great Deception whereby William Shakspere would be saddled with the credit. And yet, if Robert Boog is right, the reason that Oxford may have selected Shakspere himself to be his 'mask' -- and I wonder if I'm reading Boog right -- is due to his (i.e. Boog's) notion that Oxford was himself the actual father of Will Shakspere, as incredible as such an idea may be. I'm not sure I'm ready to even countenance such an idea, let alone believe it to possibly be true, but it would go a long way towards explaining how WS could have become attached to the theatrical profession in any capacity. If WS were the secret bastard child of EdV -- begotten when the lad was just 13 years old, and born when the 17th Earl was just 14 years old -- then this would give a whole 'nuther meaning to the term "the first heir of my invention" now, wouldn't it? Again, I'm not declaring this idea to be 'true' in any way, shape, or form. Mr. Boog might be barking up a very wrong tree -- and this assumes I'm reading him right. By the way, I'm having the hardest time locating exactly where Boog offers this possibility regarding Oxford secretly siring WS, so maybe I just imagined it and am indeed losing my mind! If Robert Boog is reading this, please correct me if I'm misremembering his books, which are: 1) "SHAKEY'S MADNESS"; 2) "HANG SHAKESPEARE!"; and 3) "THE REAL-LIFE MYSTERY OF SHAKESPEARE'S LOST YEARS." I could almost swear that I read in one of those books about Oxford maybe having begotten WS, but now I can't find the passage, no matter how hard I try. I should've dog-eared the page, dammit!
