The anti-Stratfordians hold that Shakespeare didn't write Shakespeare's plays-it was another fellow of the same name, or of a different name. In this they invert the megalomaniacal equation and make themselves not the elect, but the superior of the elect. Barred from composing Shakespeare's plays by a regrettable temporal accident, they, in the fantasy of most every editor, accept the mantle of primum mobile, consign the {falsely named} creator to oblivion, and turn to the adulation of the crowd for their deed of discovery and insight-so much more thoughtful and intellectual than the necessarily sloppy work of the writer.
