the most popular alternate writer is probably christopher marlowe .... apparently they did a study that took the author names off the works and had a computer arrange them according to whom it thought wrote them and most of shakespeare's stuff was put in w/ marlowe's stuff

(<--- believes shakespeare is the author)

From many sources it claims that W.S. didn't study a lot in his life.. how could a not-so-educated person write all these great works?

sorry, my english sucks.

Could you please repeat that....in English?

All I know is that Shakespeare copied Romeo and Juliet from a 7th century Francish story. He just changed the names, and instead of the two main characters dieing from grief at the end, Shakespeare had them commit suicide. I never really liked Shakespeare.

Marlowe or Shakespeare?has been a running gun battle for eons. I'll go with the Old Bard.

I took two semesters of Shakespeare in college, had a good female instructor that pointed out all the dirty bits :D

I checked out tapes of The London Shakespearean Co. doing the plays and followed the text as I listened.
The plays came to life for me and I got my best grades in that class.

All i know is my high school teacher taught Shakespeare well enough to convince me to take a class here at college. Its amazing sometimes how high school teachers can be better than college professors.
