[Anonymous No.17065766]

How many posters are there on /lit in total?
>Excluding the polfags coming here for vacation
Discuss.
Since it has to be a discussion about literature too and im not sure if this otherwise would be appropriate

Second question
>we crown the king of drama
>only people who wrote everything themselves so no shakespeare (cope britfags)

>Homer

According to 4stats /lit/ on average at the moment is getting ~8500 posts per day. Lets entertain 5 possible scenarios:
>each poster makes an average of 1-2 posts per day (ppd)
This would put the poster base at 8500-4250 regulars
>each poster makes an average of 3-5 ppd
This would put the poster base at 2833-1700 regulars
>each poster makes an average of 5-7 ppd
This would put the poster base at 1700-1214 regulars
>each poster makes an average of 8-10 ppd
This would put the poster base at 1063-850 regulars
>each poster makes an average of 10+ ppd
which would be 850-0 regulars
There are 12 threads per hour, which, if we account for for the 5 threads per IP, would put it at minimally 58 IP's if each made only 5 threads per day. Since a thread takes ~3 hours to leave the catalog without a bump, posters could make new threads from their IP 8 times a day. So our lower bound would be 7 regulars (assuming 1IP=1 poster)
So [7,8500] is our range, with [1213,1701] being the most likely in my opinion.
However, how many people lurk /lit/ but don't post necessarily is estimable from 4stats.

That's irrelevant to your claim about his work.

What evidence is there Shakespeare used ghostwriters? I'm ignorant on this.

Now that i think about it, you need 30 unique IPs to fill the catalog. So 30 is the lower bound.

>only people who wrote everything themselves so no shakespeare (cope britfags)

none of shakespeare's collaborations are his best plays:
>timon of athens - with middleton
>titus andronicus - with peele
>the two noble kinsmen / all is true - with fletcher
>edward III - probably with kyd
>henry VI.1 - team of playwrights, ~20% shakespeare
>pericles - first two acts by wilkins

plus III.7 and V.2 of cymbeline 'seem unshakespearean'
middleton may have revised macbeth, measure for measure, and all's well that ends well
but who cares

antony & cleopatra, the tempest, and henry IV.1 are enough to crown shakespeare as the king of drama

Op here
i have heard and read multiple times (not some boulevard junk but scientific research) how there is a big doubt because of many things like him having a vocabulary that even over half a dozen literate people combined couldn´t have had, differences on handwritings, signatures, phrasing things. I like his plays and dont want to say he hasnt been a great or even one of the greatest or the greatest author, but there is a big question mark unless ofc your a shitter like this guy>>17066191

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakespeare_authorship_question

Beginning in 1987, Ward Elliott, who was sympathetic to the Oxfordian theory, and Robert J. Valenza supervised a continuing stylometric study that used computer programs to compare Shakespeare's stylistic habits to the works of 37 authors who had been proposed as the true author. The study, known as the Claremont Shakespeare Clinic, was last held in the spring of 2010.

The tests determined that Shakespeare's work shows consistent, countable, profile-fitting patterns, suggesting that he was a single individual, not a committee, and that he used fewer relative clauses and more hyphens, feminine endings, and run-on lines than most of the writers with whom he was compared.

The result determined that none of the other tested claimants' work could have been written by Shakespeare, nor could Shakespeare have been written by them, eliminating all of the claimants whose known works have survived—including Oxford, Bacon, and Marlowe—as the true authors of the Shakespeare canon.

first not true and even if
yeah lets just not as we fake the work of a superhuman let the same guy rewrite the texts so we get caught by the first idiot who has a basic understandig of graphology.

>profile fitting patterns
omg how surprising someone who in this thought would be working together with multiple people as is the hypothesis would have profile fitting patterns just like...just like the people who participated in writing hat their own style and stuff and kept using their own style you mean that?

these two are complete nonsense. i know more than one language that means everything i write in them must be ghostwritten? what if you speak a dialect that uses words unknown to the standard dialect which you end up writing in? what if you make new words as you write?

phrasing, among other things, varies for anyone who is not autistically rigid-minded and it varies considerably the older (less standardised and homogenous) something is.

the other two are solid methods but need proof.

........
i wont argue that
seriously
are you retarded or something?

>phrasing

the other anon argued (the one i was replying too you fucking goofball), that his phrasing stayed the same there fore it has to be one person, which is completely retarded.

I argue, the things included in the writing to be characteristics in the writing are the same things over and over by the same other authors participating

>you see sth?
noone argued your point that its pretty normal that the phrasing varied.
If anything the other anon was arguing this.
Also ofc that changes but that are not the characteristics any of us meant you are making up your own argument telling me my opinion is nonsense.
I guess you also walk into subways calling employees retarded for not advertising the new mcrib and big tasty offer right on the door you read about online

No problem fren.
Here's a lone from The Misanthrope by Moliere.

Betrayed and wronged in everything,
I’ll flee this bitter world where vice is king,
And seek some spot unpeopled and apart
Where I’ll be free to have an honest heart.

Pretty dramatic desu.
