Comment: Re: SHK 13.0913 Re: Shakespearian/Shakespearean
I was always taught that "the difference of Virgil and Vergil" was due
to the original (latter) being modified by "Virgin", to acknowledge the
prophetic nature of his 4th Eclogue...
Having written this down, though, it suddenly looks absurd.

Brian Willis writes, "I think Hardy is probably right on this one. It
also explains the difference of Virgil and Vergil, and I have always
seen Keatsean and never Keatsian. It might purely boil down to a
divergence in English and 'American' English."
On Dickinson message boards I coined the phrase "Dickinsonians" to the
pleasure of most and dismay of some.

Many scholars use the spelling "Shakespearian"; a few example titles are
listed below. This spelling has the merit of ensuring that the word is
spoken with four syllables (Shake-spear-i-an) rather than three
(Shake-speare-an).
A publisher may insist on one or other spelling.
