Finally, we now have the full explanation for Jonson’s poem on Shakespeare

Quick reminder: on Thursday, April 24, 6 PM, I’m going to give a brief and (hopefully) fun talk on “Thomas North: The Original Author of Shakespeare’s Plays” at North Hampton Public Library in NH. I will also be selling /signing books, and answering any questions.
