So much more to read and learn though.
I will try to keep the thread informed of my progress. I should stress that my primary interest is in identifying the cometary avatar for 1593. This only intersects the authorship question in that it's always nice to get the identities of one's avatars correct. ;-) There is actually precedent for this kind of substitution, back around AD 6.
I should also point out that I have nothing against the good gentleman from Stratford, and would not be annoyed if a play turned up in his handwriting, as bad as that was. My next avenue of research should probably be to determine what happened to Walsingham's possessions after he died. That could go a long way toward explaining why there exist no early scripts of the plays. I can understand that Walsingham would have destroyed the actual manuscripts in fear of the dreaded Star Chamber, only abolished by the Habeas Corpus Act of 1640 (enacted in 1641).

I can press a button and change the channel by remote control.
It's just another movie, another song and dance,
Another poor sucker who never had a chance.
It's just another captain goin' down with the ship,
Just another jerk takin' pride in his work."
