¹Translation

(William Morris & Eirikr Magnusson, 1900)

Now Sturla the Lawman says so much as that he deems no outlawed man ever to have been so mighty as Grettir the Strong; and thereto he puts forth three reasons

And first in that he was the wisest of them all; for the longest in outlawry he was of any man, and was never won whiles he was hale.

And again, in that he was the strongest in all the land among men of a like age; and more fitted to lay ghosts and do away with hauntings than any other.

And thirdly, in that he was avenged out in Micklegarth, even as no other man of Iceland has been; and this withal, that Thorstein Dromund, who avenged him, was so lucky a man in his last days.

So here ends the story of Grettir Asmundson

²William Peeter And W. S. – Extract

(G.T. Working note, 20 June 2002)

Today’s edition of The New York Times carries an article by William S. Niederkorn entitled ‘A Scholar Recants on His ‘Shakespeare’ Discovery’.  The first four paragraphs read as follows:

In 1995 Donald Foster, a professor of English at Vassar College, made a startling case for Shakespeare’s being the author of an obscure 578-line poem called “A Funeral Elegy.”  After a front-page article about his methods of computer analysis in The New York Times – and after his reputation was further burnished by unmasking Joe Klein as the author of “Primary Colors” – the poem was added to three major editions of Shakespeare’s works.

Now, in a stunning development that has set the world of Shakespeare scholarship abuzz, Professor Foster has admitted he was wrong.  In a message dated June 12 and quietly left last Thursday on the Internet discussion group Shaksper (www.shaksper.net), he said that another poet and dramatist was the more likely author of the poem.  He was joined in his recantation by Richard Abrams, a professor of English at the University of Southern Maine, who has been his close associate in the Shakespeare attribution.  In their message, both conceded the main point of an article in the May issue of The Review of English Studies by Gilles D. Monsarrat, a professor of languages at the University of Burgundy in France, a translator and editor of Shakespeare’s works in French, and a co-editor of “The Nondramatic Works of John Ford.”

The article compares the text of the poem with Ford’s known work and concludes that the writing is Ford’s.  Professor Monserrat’s method seems to derive from a close reading of the texts, rather than the kind of computer analysis Professor Foster uses.

John Ford (1566-1640) is best known for his later dramatic works, like “’Tis Pity She’s a Whore,” but earlier he was a writer of memorial verse.

The article does not address the $64 question:  Why might John Ford’s elegy have been published under the nom de plume initials “W. S.” – the initials of William Shakespeare?

For this long-time student of the ‘mechanics’ used by Francis Bacon and associates for placement on the record of the Shakespeare Opus, the fact that John Ford also wrote an elegy in memory of Bacon’s close friend and literary collaborator Ben Jonson suggests that Ford may have done so to signal his own involvement in the Shakespeare enterprise.
