Work Text:
The Marquis of Flitby was a fervent anti-Stratfordian, frequently found discoursing at length on the many attributes of Shakespeare’s plays which simply would not exist without the education and experience restricted to those of good breeding.
Kim had always opposed him, more out of a reflexive refusal to agree with his father than out of a passionate defense of the man that was.
Now that Kim knew Will, he saw Shakespeare -- the man who had lived and written, who saw virtue and vice in all people, who knew that a man did not need iambic pentameter to speak in poetry.
