Interesting article of the day

An excellent meditation on revisionism, by Geoffrey Macnab, in the Indy here:
http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/horrible-histories-has-revisionism-gone-too-far-6252719.html

He is particularly scathing about the revival of the Shakespeare did not write Shakespeare conspiracy, in the new film Anonymous. I am with him. I hate this theory. I do not know why I am so invested in the idea of William Shakespeare being the true author of Hamlet, but I am. I say: leave old Will alone.
