	The New York Review of Books: 'EDMUND IRONSIDE'
		Ernst Honigmann is the sixth academic so far to explain away Edmund Ironside as an imaginary plagiarism at an imaginary date [NYR, February 12]; I have already refuted such fantasies in a new preface for my second edition (Wildwood House, 1986).
		The Ironside case could have been given a "tremendous lift" by assurances that its admittedly striking parallels do not occur outside Shakespeare; so ignore all the assurances I cite to that effect.
		Of course William Shakespeare cannot conceivably ever have perpetrated a play which was destined to be dismissed by Ernst Honigmann as "awful stuff" four centuries later, even though there was no thought of pleasing him when it was written.
