How many Shakespeare scholars does it take to change a lightbulb?
13. One to comb through primary documents looking for what kind of lightbulb it should be, one to analyze the symbolism of light in the later tragedies, two to debate whether the Quarto or Folio lightbulb is a more accurate representation, six more to hold a roundtable discussion, one to insist that Jonson’s lightbulbs were better, one to claim that it was really the Earl of Oxford’s lightbulb, and one to declare that lightbulbs aren’t original practice and light a candle instead.
