Who called Shakespeare an Upset Crow?
Nobody called Shakespeare an "upset crow". Robert Greene, in a pamphlet called "Greene's Groatsworth of Wit" called him an "upstart crow". Why? Because Greene was a university man and he looked down at Shakespeare, who only had a grammar school education, as uneducated. He was therefore an upstart to pretend that he could write as well as people who had been to university. Of course Greene was full of it. Shakespeare was a much better writer than Greene himself. I'm not sure why he called him a crow. Maybe it was because Shakespeare had black hair, as the Chandos portrait shows.
