The book "Shakespeare's Secret" really made me look at Shakespeare in a new way and I realized with
the proof from the book that Edward de Vere could actually be the real write of all of his plays.
But who am I to judge? |

I agree b/c researchers studied his story romeo and Juliet and it was not written in his hand so he
did not wright it. |

There are lots of interesting issues in the debate about Shakespeare’s authorship. My main
argument would rest of the education of the man (or men) named Shakespeare.
The man named Shakespeare who grew up in Stratford upon Avon cannot be evidentially linked to the
man known as Shakespeare who wrote the plays. It is all circumstantial proof and this leaves plenty
of room for doubt that the Stratford Shakespeare was same man who wrote the works we call 'the
complete works of Shakespeare' or was even related to Stratford Shakespeare.
The Shakespeare who grew up in Stratford attended the grammar school and was the son of a merchant.
One of the most common points raised is that Stratford Shakespeare simply did not have the education
level to have been the London Shakespeare and written the complex plays, poems and sonnets.
Stratford Shakespeare’s education would certainly have included mythology, ancient Greek studies,
Latin and other elements that can be found in London Shakespeare’s work. However, the cognitive
level involved in the writing of such intricate literary works seems unlikely for a grammar school
boy when compared with the leading contemporaries of London Shakespeare. Kit (Christopher) Marlowe
for instance, had a degree in arts from Cambridge University.
Recently, a leading British university, Brunel unveiled its first Masters in Shakespeare Authorship,
demonstrating that the debate still has far to go. |
