Shakespeare wrote thirty seven dramatic works between 1580s and 1613. But the exact chronology of its plays is still subject to discussion. However, the volume of its creations does not have to appear as exceptional compared to the standards of his period. Anti-Stratfordians a collective term for adherents of the various alternative authorship theories believe that Shakespeare of Stratford was a front to shield the identity of the real author or authors. Arguments that tries to prove that Shakespeare did not write his plays are that a commoner from Stratford would be unable to write good plays, a nobleman would have the education and experience to write these plays but he would have to hide his hobby to avoid social stigma also anagrams in
Shakespeare was a writer of many plays like Romeo and Juliet, or Hamlet but, some people believe that he did not write his plays. In some of the sources they would explain that shakespeare couldn't have wrote the plays. The others sources say otherwise, they say that he could easily imagine how it would be like to be rich and their for him being able to write the plays. From all the evidence that the sources gave, Shakespeare did not or could not write his plays because he was not educated well enough to be able to write the plays with such sophisticated language another reason that Shakespeare was not the writer there's not enough evidence such as copies of the plays.
Lastly, The director of Anonymous states that there are no educational records or any other records connecting to Shakespeare. It is nearly impossible to gain the amount of knowledge Shakespeare had with out going to school. There are no records to prove that Shakespeare ever attended the Stratford grammar school, yet the work of who really wrote these plays shows extensive knowledge about medicine, astronomy, art, music, military, law, philosophy, and activities such as royal tennis and falconry (Ten reason). It is unbelievable for one to know all that without even a trace of school. This suggests that some one else wrote the plays because Shakespeare does not have the education and knowledge to do so. Likewise, it is strange how one knows so much about foreign countries without ever leaving their country. Shakespeare’s records show that he has never left
Throughout the last century, a raging phenomenon known as the “Authorship Debate”, has come to light. It disputes whether Shakespeare himself wrote the plays and sonnets or if it was someone else writing under a pseudonym. There are countless theories of who the writer might actually be but the main suspects are Shakespeare himself, Edward de Vere, Sir Francis Bacon, Christopher Marlowe, William Stanley, Roger Manners, Sir Walter Raleigh and Mary Sidney Herbert (Pressley).
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. Due to the scarcity of facts surrounding Shakespeare’s life, speculation arouse about whether or not he actually wrote his works became more common. In the mid-1800s ideas about other authors were brought forward. 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.
Abstract: The debate over the legitimacy of the authorship of Shakespearean works has been disputed for centuries. While many scholars have held beliefs that Shakespeare's works have been written by figures such as Christopher Marlowe, Francis Bacon, William Stanley, and others, the most heated debate today is between William Shakespeare and Edward DeVere, the Earl of Oxford. Each side of this debate has many followers, the Stratfordians, or those who claim Shakespeare to be the true author, and the Oxfordians who believe that true credit should go to DeVere. My paper, far from being a complete analysis of the possibilities of Shakespearean authorship, attempts to summarize and rationalize the
The Shakespeare Authorship Question has been around for many years. There is a lot of suspected author components in who actually wrote the works but, a few debaters have tried to prove that Shakespeare was the original author therefore, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The Shakespeare Authorship Conspiracy can be argued that William is not the correct author based on evidence that no documents reveal any qualities of education from Shakespeare; nobody had any type of dramatic reaction to his death in 1616, and Shakespeare’s disputed will mentions nothing specific or anything noteworthy. Few facts and records are known about William and his life. There is no evidence that he had the correct skills to hold such an impacted title.
Shakespeare was a playwright from Stratford who had arguably the most influential affect on English literature and the English language. His works are still praised to this day for their divine superiority, however, controversy in exceeding amounts has risen over the dispute of his authorship. This controversy has been the topic of many arguments between differently opinionated scholars who support opposing theories and beliefs (Friedman XV). "A difficult dilemma confronts biographers who tell the story of the glove maker's son from Stratford-on-Avon who is supposed to have become the world's greatest poet and dramatist" (Whalen 3). It may seem odd that this confusion and doubt had come to light in the first place, as the origin of
Stratford Upon Avon is the birthplace and resting place for William Shakespeare. The town was created in 1196. That makes Stratford Upon Avon over 800 years old. It was founded by the Saxons when they invaded what is now warwickshire. In 1196 King Richard allowed the town to host weekly markets. Allowing them to hold markets brought a lot of visitors in the town. People realized how nice of a town it was. The town also got money through that and were able to expand the town and build more buildings for people to move into. (Local Histories, 2016)
The subject I am writing about the controversies during Shakespeare's life. One of the controversies is people are asking did he have a co author , which helped him write his play All’s well. People who found the book found fingerprints of William Shakespeare's and also Thomas Middleton. Thomas Middleton which also help him with Women Beware Women. There is another one where many people are saying it’s very possible that he wrote more plays than we thought. There is a big possibility that he could have written a large number of plays that were never released to the public. One of the weird more serious more controversies is that many people say that he could have been a drug addict. In 2001 Thackeray said they found traces of cannabis residue

William Shakespeare was a commoner born in the nineteenth century.His father was a glove maker.His superior education was acquired from grammy school at Stratford and it expanded has he got older.Not only was Shakespeare a man of the theater, also was a writer with a literary career. Anti-Stratfordians are called authorship doubters.William Shakespeare did write his own work of literature because he had the education and experience to write such range of work.
For centuries scholars have been examining the question whether William Shakespeare wrote all the work that has been credited to him. In his short 52 years of life, he is said to have authored 154 sonnets, two epic poems, and 38 five-act plays. Following the death of Shakespeare, many scholars began researching information that may have proven why Shakespeare could not have been the primary author or the author at all for many of these works. Four theories as to why Shakespeare could not have written all the work that has been credited to him include: his limited education as an individual of common birth; the shear difficulty and near impossibility for one individual to write so many varied pieces, not
Up until a decade ago, there was no questioning the famous playwright William Shakespeare's authorship. Now, theorists use the lack of documents on Shakespeare’s life and doubt about how a commoner like Shakespeare could have written his famous plays to argue against Shakespeare’s authorship. While arguments for other candidates may be compelling, no concrete proof exists for any one candidate that provides a clearer picture of a literary genius than Shakespeare himself. Those who support Shakespeare as the best candidate and true author "emphasize the fact that the body of evidence that does exist points to Shakespeare, and no one else, as the author of his works" (Pruitt). The established documented facts: Shakespeare's education, the appearance of his name on not only his published plays, but around eighty other writer's works as a form of tribute or homage in an era where providing the author's name was not customary, his familiarity with acting, setting the stage, and orchestration of the action, and his life events which are reflected in the mood of his writing give William Shakespeare holds the strongest claim to the works that bear his name.
Shakespeare was a playwright from Stratford upon Avon who had arguably the most significant influence on English literature and language. His works are still acclaimed to this day for their divine superiority, although debate has risen over the authenticity of his authorship. According to Dobson, reasons for doubting that William Shakespeare was in fact the author of his works include theories that he lacked the education, aristocratic awareness, or familiarity with the royal court that is said to be apparent in the works (Dobson, 2001, p.31). Many books have been published questioning if the renowned playwright is the author of his many plays and poems.
Shakespeare was a famous writer before and during the renaissance period. Shakespeare invented around 360 vintage English words, which are still applicable today. In the year 1597, Shakespeare wrote around 15 plays including Romeo and Juliet. Many
