Who really wrote Shakespeare plays and sonnets

Being from Warwickshire and OH having ancestors buried in the graveyard at Stratford church I'm a bit of a Shakespeare fan. I enjoyed the Stratford event last night, I think the words written by our old friend Bill have withstood the test of time. Rather like Mr Burns has always been admired even though he was a bit of a lad....or did someone else pen his words?

Write your comments here...Nice bit of sidestepping   Brue, Well done !! 

Don't you agree with those academics. ?. If not what real proof is there, that Shakespeare "Actually" penned those Plays and Sonnets all by himself.

Who wrote Shakespeare's plays?.  Call me an impetuous fool but I'd guess it was William Shakespeare.  To assume otherwise without any real evidence is just wishful thinking.  To mangle a metaphor (or something) academics designed the Titanic, an illiterate peasant built the Ark.

The first person to come up with the Baconian theory was James Wilmot in 1762. He was the rector at Barton on the Heath and also the uncle of 'Princess Olive' If you know how dubious the story of Olive is then you may have cause to doubt Wilmots theories. Who wrote Shakespeare? Shakespeare.

"Brush up your Shakespeare" K9, remember he went to Stratford Grammar school and got a good grounding in the written word and Latin....hardly a place for the semi-illiterate? Not being quite as old as you are to have seen him  on the stage I can't vouch for the acting bit.

Write your comments here...I have no opinion either  way. I like to keep an open mind  And when there are so many academics suggesting the authenticity of other authors, the subject in my opinion is worth discussing. Brushing your insult aside which I always do, I will ask you a question :- As you claim to be a local with local knowledge I will ask you  to inform the members of the forum where the indisputable proof that Shakespeare was indeed the author of all those wonderful works of literature can be found ?. I would expect that this should be readily available. 

Otherwise the reader is it liberty to attribute the authorship of those fine works to the people whom the Academics have discovered through painstaking research.

This is a typical K post designed to cause conflict!  If this had be posted by an English person I might have taken it seriously and commented but as it is............................

For suggesting that you want to cause conflict K I have reported myself

Shakespeare's first folio was published in 1623 seven years after his death.  Printed inside the cover is his name as the author.  That's good enough for me.  Can you provide equally valid evidence that it was someone eles's work?

Of course it's a post to cause conflict, have I insulted K for reaching the seventh age of man, I think not. He should be proud to have reached such a great age with so much determination to do battle..... but "there is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood, leads onto fortune. Omitted, all voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries."

Alas the ship has run aground again.
