I wonder why?

Tolkien DID dislike drama as a branch, the same way he disliked conventional fairy stories of old England, that made fairies out to be tiny creatures in frilly frocks. But I don't remember reading why he singled out Shakespeare as a target. Anyone know why?

Not all those who wander are lost.</p>
