The piece ask the question how a man with only a grammar-school education at best, could possibly could have penned the greatest works in the English Language?

they say the real author was the Countess of Pembroke. She was the most educated woman in England after Elizabeth I. the piece also says this explains why shakespheare wrote love sonnets to a younger man ( really her lover) and that it also clarify why the first collection of Shakespheare's plays were dedicated to the earls of Pembroke and Montgomery (her sons). And It would explain Ben Johnson's phrase "sweet swan of Avon" She had two estates on the River Avon , and her personal symbol was the swan.


hummmm, very interesting theory. Your thoughts?
 
Well that would be pretty fvcked up. But how come was Elizabeth I the most educated woman in England??
 
There has been talk about shakespere being a woman for a VERY long time. Personally, I dont know one way or the other.
 
Why can't people just believe that William Shakespeare was William Shakespeare? It smacks of elitism to suggest that people with grammar school educations are not capable of genuis, as if talent is something afforded only to the rich. Next somebody will write an article saying that Mozart wasn't really Mozart, because he hadn't had decades of music lessons before he began composing music as a child...
 
i like the francis bacon theory better ......

but one thing is for sure ..........the uneducated, mostly illiterate and not well traveled "william shakespeare" did not write those works..........

This is what my 12th grade English teacher believed.
 
It's been said for awhile that the author was someone other than Shakespeare himself so who knows? The day we get irrefutable proof may never come so right now we're all stuck speculating like so many other mysteries in life. People love a mystery so perhaps it's better like this.

there is no such thing as irrefutable evidence......nothing is ever certain because nothing lasts forever....our judgements are based on our perceptions and our beliefs limit our perceptions and measurements are only as accurate as the tools used


lets see...real william shakespeare was very poor therefore he would not have been capable of the world travels that the writer seemed to have experienced

he had trouble signing his name....that does not sound like a writer to me.......
