ABSTRACT
To re-examine the ‘evidence’ adduced by the homosexuals (as pathetically eager to prove that ‘Shakespeare is one of us’ as the Germans are to prove that he was a German) would be a waste of time; but I should like to refer my heterosexual readers-if they have not already consulted them-to Hugh Kingsmill’s The Return of William Shakespeare and his friend Hesketh Pearson’s ‘Penguin’, A Life of Shakespeare, where these two keen-witted, healthy-minded ‘debunkers’ (who love their Shakespeare) have some trenchant remarks1 to make.
