 AIGA - George Nelson
But what it led to most importantly was the opportunity for Nelson to let his instincts flourish, to tease his thoughts free from the morass of extraneous information, and enable him to oversee the process required to translate an idea or insight into a physical, often useful and occasionally beautiful thing.
That, in turn, gave Nelson a mission of his own: to make people see clearly what design was and was not, what it might be capable of achieving and what it would require, as a discipline, to reach its potential.
Of course, Nelson was at his most effective as a designer during the time when the scientific discoveries about the "design" of the physical world were thrillingly changing our perceptions and providing new models and metaphors to obtain greater clarity and depth of understanding of that physical world.

 Sobran's --- Shakespeare Authorship (Reply to Nelson)
Nelson quips that whoever the author was, he couldn’t have had “first-hand experience” of ancient Rome or the Trojan War; as if I’d made the absurd contention that everything in the Shakespeare works, including ghosts and witches, “must necessarily” correspond to something in the real author’s life.
Nelson doesn’t deny that Oxford spent a year in Italy, but he lamely counters that it is “not impossible” that William of Stratford traveled there too, “perhaps in a company of players.” With “not impossible” and “perhaps,” you can prove just about anything, however improbable, for which there is no positive evidence.
Nelson does hint at a possible alternative reading of the Sonnets when he accuses me of interpreting their implied story with “supreme literalness” and failing to perceive their “hyperbole.” Here Nelson means to suggest that the poet can’t always be taken literally and that whenever he sounds like Oxford, he must be speaking figuratively.

 Dwight Nelson: - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Nelson belongs to that group of people, condemned, it seems - though they wouldn't say it that way - to spend all their lives serving the hewers of wood and drawers of water.
Nelson, who claims the strange hobby of "harassing conceited persons", says that when he casts his mind back to those school days, he can't quite understand how certain St George's old boys (who shall be nameless), then regarded as from the upper-class elite, come now to be championing the cause of the poor.
Nelson also recalls with some sadness that but for the fact that his mother could not afford to buy him a tennis racquet, he might have been one of Jamaica's biggest tennis stars today.

Nelson’s biography traces Oxford’s life meticulously, relying almost totally on contemporary documents, many of them previously unprinted and most of them reproduced with their original spelling, syntax, and (frequent lack of) punctuation.
Nelson’s biography also undermines some of the supposedly most striking similarities between the Earl’s life and the narratives of the plays.
After being in the presence of Edward De Vere for Nelson’s 500 pages, one may perhaps be forgiven for noting that, unlike Shakespeare, Oxford left no will and no provision for his children.
