What is this page here for?
This appears to be yet another complaint about the deservedly negative response from Shakespeare scholars and fans everywhere for Winkler's cynical, myopic, unscholarly, narcissistic attempt to make money out of a dead controversy. No scholar will give Winkler a hearing as her book is simply a extended recital of authorship canards, delivered by their creators in many cases, offered as problematic evidence. Winkler, uncritical and unchallenging, promotes an almost continual stream of what The Times reviewer described as "calumnious bilge".

The page should be removed. Or if it must exist, given extensive revision, explaining why it received the most vituperative reviews of any Shakespeare book this century, all of which are merited.

"I stumbled into the authorship question a little bit naively" Winker says. And she can say that again. Sicinius (talk) 17:26, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
