Apparently, the evil Hawkes gets to make his post twice, and I am not
allowed to answer? Was this a mistake?

Dear all,
Since Jan Pick has confirmed the "fiddle-faddle touristy-style
misinformation" handed out by tour guides in Stratford-on-Avon, and John
Knapp has drawn attention to new world influence in the founding of the
Globe, I would like to say that the tour I took of the Globe last year
around Christmas was extremely well-informed.
I imagine that the credit for this can be given to the international
core of academics who work in it and pass through it, including not
least our own Gabriel Egan; nevertheless, it seems ironic that the
Globe, denounced on this very list as Disneyland and seen by many as an
unwanted American intrusion, has become least touristy of
Shakespeare-related sites.
Yours,
Sean.
