Perchance the authors of the 'study' (more appropriately considered a 'hit piece') are not intellectually capable of reading, enjoying, understanding, and learning from Shakespeare's literary art and observations. Their loss. They are fools.
What a load of clap-trap. Shakespeare was around mid / late 16th century when life was quite different. Still run by elites mind you.
Who cares anyway? Does it really matter? Will they spend £100M on investigating the works of Chaucer next? At a time when the UK government is letting schools and the NHS rot, I find this disgusting.
It’s all perverse and disgusting tbh. We are consistently and constantly fed sh*t from the media, from social media, from the government.
I was getting worked up about it all, but now I’m doing my best not to give one, because the only person it hurts is me. No one bothers listening cos they think I’m a conspiracy theorist. Let’s see…..
My only wish is that the MALIGN "Elites"* intent on driving the West to commit seppuku would, instead, OFF THEMSELVES (physically) and leave those of us who are not in agreement w/ this Suicide Pact to live-on HAPPILY as the Remnant of the West.

I lived for several decades in a building inhabited by elderly Jews. I became good friends with them and appreciated their insights and their kindness. Some of them have passed, and I still visit them at the cemetery on the hill.
My heritage is almost 100% Highland Scot, with 1/6 Viking added to dilute the capacity for violence.
I strive to be a Christian gentlemen, but there are limitations. These Jews are under my protection. Should anyone be so misguided as to harm them, they will be dealt with - with extreme prejudice.
If you see an old guy with a walker and an AK-47, that could be me.
That's interesting 100% Highland Scott you say. What part of Scotland do you come from? The reason I ask is because I'm a fourth generation white Caucasian Australian, with at least 1/3 Scottish ancestory in me myself from my father's side with many of my ancestors coming from around Edinburg, Scotland. I'm sure you've no doubt heard the name Mackintosh, of who many were members of the Jacubites clan, with many of them being slain in the battled of .
Did the Study's authors forget that Shakespeare was a private entrepreneur whos audience was virtually all white and in a time when esg and dei scores were centuries away from being a thing? He did what anyone would do in his era and catered to his audience.
The oppressive mass of stupidity and malice that now crushes us may so compress creative spirits as to power an explosion of magnificence. Keep going, Peter, you are among sparks that may light the slumbering explosives.
Yet one more of the endless examples of misuse of tax revenues. Why in the hell conduct a study of Shakespeare with government funds? To what end? Other than making up (so-called) work in order to funnel these monies to do-nothing thieves. If someone wants to study Shakespeare plays…they can damn well feel free to do it with their own personal monies! If only. This is NOT the function of government.
Nouveau Stalins be like: "Show me the classic and I'll show you the crime!" (I'm referencing the possibly apocryphal quote from Stalinist-era Soviet jurist Andrey Vyshinsky). But wait, I thought Bill was kinda into DEI since he gave the poor oppressed moor a lead role in Othello? In all seriousness, it's a great testament to the relevance of classics that the tyrants want to bury them. Just goes to show that literature such as Shakespeare or Aristotle (and everything else they're trying to get rid of) is enabling of human freedom. Why else would they fear it?
This is ALL about sending money (grants etc) to favoured people and organisations of similar ideology, in exchange for biased answers and conclusions (affirmations) which support a predetermined narrative.
I guess (in their collective madness) they determined that literature and creativity are only acceptable if it is the spawn of a non-white (what is that really), non-binary or transgender artist.
Filthy revisionist barbarians. Every literary credential in this New World is laughable. Incapable of creation, ignorant of excellence and stunningly blind to beauty. Ugly tranny haters and dickless haters with empty wombs. Meh. Of everything they create, we will find all lacking.

Fools they are, indeed!
Most of what passes for government and controlled media speech these days is, “A tale told by an idiot, signify nothing! “
"Bought and paid for" results are provided with the grant, so all one needs do is provide the "proof"!

Just remember, no matter what the left believes, Yhwh God is still in control, and his will IS being done!
Great post. The West seems intent on committing intentional intellectual seppuku.
My only wish is that the MALIGN "Elites"* intent on driving the West to commit seppuku would, instead, OFF THEMSELVES (physically) and leave those of us who are not in agreement w/ this Suicide Pact to live-on HAPPILY as the Remnant of the West.
Alas, that is not what will "off" them, but their deeds will not go unpunished!
No doubt you are correct, but I live in hope. :>))
Time, for them is, I firmly believe, far shorter than most imagine, being measured in days, not weeks, months, or years.
Oh it has. At least in the upper echelons who control the rest.

Signifying nothing."

Hmmm!

In reality there was no other audience.
Well put.
John Leake! Touché! Brilliant writing sir.
Geez how many dogs and cats could I have saved with the money pissed away in this ridiculous nonsense....
As Hamlet said,
"The cat will mew, and dog will have his day."

Gov’t has run amok! We need to reign it in….fast! Good place to start would be to defund colleges and universities!

Exactly. Nothing more than money laundering. Sick and evil.
Bingo!!!

Commies gonna purge. He that controls the present, controls the past…
moral of story - do not fund or listen to morons.
