    True Or Informative Essay: Was Shakespeare Really William Shakespeare?

    Many scholars, writers, and poets have pondered the question, “Was Shakespeare really Shakespeare?” They’ve done the research, analyzed his works, and compared it to other writers of the time, and there is some pretty damning evidence convincing us that William Shakespeare really isn’t William Shakespeare. What we could assume about his education shows that in school, he was taught reading and writing and not much else. William did not travel very far from his home, leaving us to think “How did someone with little education and even littler knowledge about the countries he “wrote” about, write such marvelous and wonderful pieces of work?” Perhaps “William Shakespeare” was a pseudonym for a more profound, more skilled writer such as Christopher Marlowe or Francis Bacon. Undoubtedly, William Shakespeare is not William Shakespeare someone with very little life experience, and education could not have written such intricately…

    Why Did William Shakespeare Controversy?

    If it wasn’t Shakespeare then who was it? Is he someone we know? If so, then what was the reason he hid his identity? And so, the crazy search for the ”real” Shakespeare began. In the process many names of plausible Shakespeare surfaced, names like Francis Bacon, Christopher Marlowe, William Stanley, and many more. During the early 19th century, one of the newest candidates caught the eye of many notable advocates, one of which was Sigmund Freud, his name was Edward de Vere (Wikipedia, “History of the Shakespeare…”).…

Please don’t feel like you need to understand what I am talking about (these notes would be read by Shakespeare scholars), but do take a look at the length of my entries, what types of things I am saying about each source, and how each is set up. You might note that these are quite similar to your Reading Responses (Coincidence? I think not).…

    Shakespeare - Authorship Essay Example

    In 1564, a man was born by the name of William Shakespeare. He was born to a poor family, was given little education, and had no interaction with sophisticated society. Thirty-eight plays and over 150 sonnets are not attributed to this ignorant man. Those who believe that Shakespeare was the author have no definitive proof but instead point to Hamlet's declaration: "The play's the thing(Satchell 71)." The true author, however, lies hidden behind he name of Shakespeare. Edward de Vere the premier Earl of Oxford is not only considered a great poet in history, but he may also be the great playwright who concocted the sonnets and plays which are now attributed to William Shakespeare of Stratford, England.…

    The Shakespeare Authorship Conspiracy

    William Shakespeare was one of the most popular playwrights in history. With 38 plays, 154 sonnets and many other poems, Shakespeare’s work has been performed around the world more often than any other playwright. One gentleman, Hank Whittemore, created a blog that is strictly related to the notion that William Shakespeare was a pen-name of Edward De Vere who was the Earl of Oxford from 1550 to 1604. To many, this is an outlandish claim and is considered a conspiracy theory. His monthly blog continues to be filled with a narrow history lesson lined with an unpopular opinion.…

    Shakespeare Authorship

    The large body of work attributed to William Shakespeare shows education, experience, creativity, and wisdom far beyond what many people are willing to accept came from a single author. This is due to the scarcity of facts concerning his life, speculation rose about whether or not Shakespeare became more common. In turn, some have chosen to put forth other candidates as to who authored the plays. However, these theories have little sustenance and it is likely that the entire body of work attributed to Shakespeare in fact belonged to Shakespeare himself…

    Shakespeare's Authorship

    Shakespeare famously wrote in his play “Hamlet” “to be, or not to be, that is the question…” (Shakespeare). But throughout the years that’s not the only question that has revolved around Shakespeare for since the publication of his plays doubts have arose about the authenticity of his works. Countless sceptics have devised theories that seem to explain all the discrepancies of Shakespeare’s authorship. However, time and again, new evidence blows gaping holes in the sides of these theories. However, strong evidence still exists to promote Shakespeare’s authorship, yet on the other hand, some evidence exists to support the idea that another man or possibly a group of writers wrote the works attributed to Shakespeare.…
