- ^ "I no longer believe that ... the actor from Stratford was the author of the works that have been ascribed to him. Since reading Shakespeare Identified by J. Thomas Looney [which Freud had read twice in the 1920s], I am almost convinced that the assumed name conceals the personality of Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford.... The man of Stratford seems to have nothing at all to justify his claim, whereas Oxford has almost everything." – Sigmund Freud in 1937.
