The author of the Shakespeare works is a moral
philosopher, in fact he writes in the Cogita et Visa
that he's going to write 'productions' that pit
morality against the human passions. In some
plays morality wins, in others passion.

Dee was kind of a Roger Bacon, not a Francis
Bacon. Dee didn't really belong to the early
modern era. The Shakespeare plays, as Bloom
and Greenblatt have noted, are not feudal.
Shacksper and Oxford are feudals, Bacon is,
at the very least, Renaissance .

Are you asserting that Dee is the genius
behind Oxford?

It's depressing.
