WHY I AM AN OXFREUDIAN



Sigmund Freud was one of the first prominent intellectuals who endorsed the 1920 theory that "William Shakespeare" was a pseudonym of Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford. It is time that psychoanalysts-- and others-- re-examine Freud's theory about Shakespeare open-mindedly. Those who accept the overwhelming evidence that de Vere wrote the works of Shakespeare are known as Oxfordians. Psychoanalysts who reach the same conclusion might be called Oxfreudians. With the release of Roland Emmerich's film Anonymous, there is much greater public awareness that Stratfordians have misled us about the evidence as to who wrote Shakespeare's works. I have included links to the full texts of some of my articles and book reviews.
