Michael L. Hays deposited Shakespeare’s Hand in “Sir Thomas More”-Some Aspects of the Paleographic Argument in the group
Sir Thomas More ms. on Humanities Commons 4 years, 7 months ago
Reviews arguments for identifying Shakespeare’s handwriting to the handwriting of Addition IIc in the Sir Thomas More ms. and, by reference to the concept of a control as the indispensable requirement for such comparison, finds the arguments not only instances of special pleading, but a failure to satisfy this fundamental requirement. Urges agnosticism about the identification.
