Early Prof. Sturrock must have felt that the sonnets were autobiographical and in asking what the sonnets are all about, he was led automatically to the question: Who was Shakespeare? Sturrock does have a (biased?) opinion.(Oxfordian)
As far as the complex Shakespeare authorship debate of Shakespeare is concerned unfortunalely I fear, that Sturrock's very "Shakespearean" aproach to develop a problem as a dialog and to make a scientific procedure comprehensible to non-scientists, will not be very successful: the (too little) amount of knowledge defines the (too little) questions he may ask...and it is difficult to compare two real "substantial" personalities (W.Shaksper-Stratford and Edward de Vere) with a fictive unsubstantial "some-one" else. I would have liked to know the result, if Sturrock had replaced "someone else" by Marlowe, using all the knowledge available today.
