He was elite. The educated classes studied Latin, myth, religion and history. It was only later with the wide advent of the printing press did these ideas trickle to everyone.

He was a black woman though.

Elite on the spectrum that most of the country was illiterate with 0 education, he went to the free school not with princes.

Nigga, you have had more formal education than Shakespeare had had.

>Although no attendance records for the period survive, most biographers agree that Shakespeare was probably educated at the King's New School in Stratford,[7][8][9] a free school chartered in 1553,[10] about a quarter-mile (400 m) from his home. Grammar schools varied in quality during the Elizabethan era, but grammar school curricula were largely similar: the basic Latin text was standardised by royal decree,[11][12] and the school would have provided an intensive education in grammar based upon Latin classical authors.[13]

This figure, that thou here seest put
It was for gentle Shakespeare cut;
Wherein the Graver had a strife
With Nature to out-do the life:
O, could he but have drawn his wit
As well in brass, as he hath hit
His face; the Print would then surpass
All that was ever writ in brass.
But since he cannot, Reader, look
Not on his Picture, but his Book.

So... Eddie Vere chose a pen name, cuz he didn't wanna get outed as an enjoyer of theater (there's drag queens in that shiet), but the pen name he chose happened to belong to some valet parking guy and so-called expers have been attributing the stage-writing to him ever since.

>>24881746
The pen name he chose for his masturbatory plays that frame him as a great genius in a time of Christian humility happened to literally mean "public masturbator".
The guy who took on the role happened to be a theatre producer with little success until suddenly around the death of Eddie. I find it very hard to believe his name was even Shakespeare but maybe.

This might be a shock to you, but Antiquity existed before the Englightenment.
>>
>>24881589
He was ripping off entire plays my friend. When he wasn’t copypasting plays he was putting historical works into play form (Plutarch’s Lives was translated and available, as were histories of the kings of England).
>>
>>24881737
and when I read the work its clear to me Bacon done it.

Hamlet was written by a cosmopolitan scientist of the day not some peasant from beside a lamprey infested creek out in the Bongistan bush.
>>
>>24881589
Greek, Latin and Hebrew were all taught at schools at that time
>>
>>24881639
He was, though,
His father was an alderman, and his mothers family were rich land owners.
>>
>>24881589
he never existed,to begin with. All of the works claimed to be his were actually made by a black woman
>>
I never thought I'd encounter a man who's never heard of the Renaissance.
>>
>>24882122
>His father was an alderman
also a butcher.
the whole thing about shakespeare is that he was a normal stratford boy, went to the local grammar school. then when he got rich & famous in london he finally got what his dad always wanted - a coat of arms. that’s why the bacon/oxfordian theories exist.

In those days the king had a royal CIA of which you might be descended from.

UhH? You're confusing enlightnement with renaissance.

The renaissance was when culture regained interest in the wisdom of the ancients.
>>
Erasmus, Bacon, More, Machiavelli, Copernicus, Galileo and Luther were all from the same era.
The humanist movement was in full swing. Scholars were corresponding with each other all across Europe.
It's enlightenment propaganda that before they "enlightened" everyone with liberalism, everyone was illiterate and being tortured and rolling around in pig shit.
>>
>>24881589
Perhaps Reddit lied to you, about knowledge before "The Enlightenment" that is.

Black women were elite at that time in england.

Much of that was widely known in learned circles since the 1200s, even moreso after the renassance of the late 1400s and early 1500s, so it trakes since he is 1500s.

The enlightenment was less about GETTING new sources, it was more about expanding past them.
>>
>>24883279
>in learned circles
In those days known as orders of knights and "societies". The Royal Society was a continuation of those and was a threat to the pope for the same reasons. Before the printing press and the pope's loss of power in general over the continent they would have ended like the Templars.
