Although there are people who believe that Shakespeare, from Stratford upon Avon wrote the all of the plays, the real Shakespeare Edward de Vere actually wrote them because he had the credentials to.

Edward de Vere is the playwright because he had the education and the wits to write. It should be noted that de Vere spoke many, and almost all of the languages needed to write the plays whereas Stratford upon Avon Shakespeare did not. “De Vere was believed to have spoken Italian, French, and Spanish among other languages.” All of these languages were absolutely needed to write the plays. A commoner from England would not have been bilingual much less trilingual. Also, the Stratford upon Avon Shakespeare did not have an education much less being an Oxford graduate as de Vere was. “Looney states that in one category after another Oxford had the characteristics he had projected: classical education, sympathy for the house of Lancaster in the war of the roses, Roman Catholic learning’s, aristocratic point of view, literary tastes.” And the list goes on and on. This definitively lists out all of the education advantages that Edward de Vere of Oxford had which debunked the Stratfordians claims.

The argument that the Stratfordians put forth, that the Stratford upon Avon Shakespeare was the real guy who wrote all of the magnificent pieces, is not true. This is so, because he did not have any documented evidence of clues linking him to the writings. “One by one, I began to tick off a growing list of verses marked in the de Vere bible which these scholars had identified as influential on Shakespeare.”This is a prime example of the clues needed to validate the anti-stratfordian argument. These are also the clues which the Stratfordians have none of considering the fact that there is no documentation of the Shakespeare from Stratford upon Avon ever having written or read much more than his name.
Also, Stratford upon Avon Shakespeare could not have, and did not travel

    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…

    Shakespeare’s timeless work of literature, and one of the most popular plays to this day, Hamlet, was not just a tale Shakespeare himself thought up on his own with no inspiration from outside sources. Shakespeare’s wonderful writing stems from not only his natural talent, but from his influence pulled from the great writers who came before him. Literature builds upon itself; every work of literature in existence has some inspiration from another work. Excluding any outside influence from a work of literature is something that is just not possible. Shakespeare took inspiration from some of the best works in literature, and it resulted in one of the most known and loved plays to this days. Works that…

    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.

    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.
