Date: 2018-07-31 02:58 pm (UTC)There are about 4 alternative candidates, Francis Bacon, de Vere- Earl of Oxford, the Earl of Derby and Kit Marlowe (having faked his own murder with the assistance of the head of Elizabeth's secret service.
Or some combination of those 4, plus or minus others.
To me the theories seem to turn on the assumption that a middle-class boy without a university education could not have written perhaps the best drama ever so therefore someone else, someone posher, must have written them.
Having walked round his house in Stratford Shakespear, if he didn't write the plays, seems to have done very nicely out of them.
