Subject: Middleton and Macbeth
[Personal portion of correspondence deleted.]
I hadn't been following the debate about my denial of Gary Taylor's claim
that about 11 percent of "Macbeth" was contributed by Middleton, until my
good friend William Proctor Williams forwarded a few postings.
I would like to reply to SHK 21.0251, if I may, but not in any spirit of
controversy. I just want to inform your readers that I have put up on the
website of the London Forum for Authorship Studies two pdf files, one
containing the full text of my TLS essay, the other a detailed examination
of Taylor's evidence by myself, Dr Marcus Dahl, and Professor Marina
Tarlinsjaya. I attach a link herewith, so that you can see for yourself that
it's all reputable scholarship. I feel that if people want to debate this
issue, then they should have access to the full texts, and not work by
hearsay. The site is at
