Meanwhile, Shakespeare scholars nod in embarrassed agreement. A secretary from Folgers’ Shakespeare Library in Washington was heard to comment, “I don’t know how we missed it, but in all these years we have never possessed a single thorough-going work that unquestionably showed Shakespeare was indeed one of the most important writers of the English language.” Brought under an uncomfortable spotlight were many college and high school English teachers who allowed students to make claims about the greatness of the bard without citing any reputable academic sources.
