As Shakespeare is known as a semi illiterate second rate actor, academics are claiming that they were written by the Earl of Oxford and Francis Bacon. among others and Shakespeare was persuaded to put his name to the works in case of political reprecussions.
Which makes all that hoo- ha on tv last night by a load of Luvvies a bit of a non event

I'm afraid I still have an open mind. Strange isnt it that when there is any interesting discussion there are some who being unable to answer questions or post coherently, resort to other tactics like introducing national prejudice.
I doesnt work.---- Intelligent people answer points raised on threads for discussion. The others can only try to shoot the messenger.
As stated before I am happy to believe any hard evidence, be it in favour of the Academics or Shakespeare. I can't be fairer than that.
So far there has been no such evidence from either camp.

we've taken our lead from you K. By the way-loving the irony again, you complain of negativity by being uber negative, don't ever change K, I luurrrrrves it
Write your comments here...Ha ha. At least the fun and humour is still alive and kicking when we are on the same thread R.
Just ignore les Miserables, to them humour is not to be enjoyed.

Final score Shakespeare 0 - Academics -0
Looking more like nobody will ever know the real answer.

Did you know? Leonard Nimoy once worried that he was getting typecast as Star Trek's Mr Spock. He determined to branch out into Shakespearean acting and went for lessons. The session (allegedly) went somthing like this.
Instructor. "Right Len, we'll start with something easy. Let's try Hamlet's soliloquy".
Len "To be or not to b-b-b-beam me up Scotty"
Instructor "Len, forget mr Spock. Try again"
Len "To be or not to be, that's totally illogical"
Instructor "Oooooh-kay. I see we have a problem here. Forget Hamlet let's try Mark Anthony's speech to the Romans after Caeser's murder. It begins Friends, Romans, countrymen. Lend me your EARS"
Len "Now you're just taking the mickey. I've had enough of this".
