[lbo-talk] Shakespeare, Coke, Bacon, Egerton

[andie nachgeborenen]

Charles Ives, the modernist composer, was also an
insurance man. I can't think of any poetical lawyers,
as opposed to poets with some legal training.  Btw,
one theory about Shakespeare's "Lost Years" in the
1580s is that he apprenticed as a clerk to a lawyer. 
This is speculation based on the accurate and
knowledgeable use of legal language in the plays.
