Was the Bard the Bard?

Who Wrote Shakespeare This Time?

Some scholars just won't let Shakespeare be Shakespeare.

A small academic industry has developed to prove that William
Shakespeare, a provincial lad from Stratford-upon-Avon, could not have written
the much-loved plays that bear his name.

More power to the scholars who are questioning whether Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare. There's always room for discovery and theories.

Bottom line, though, for me, is that regardless of whoever wrote Shakespeare (and I tend to think that it was, indeed, Shakespeare), the works are fantastic, so full of wit and wisdom, and all encompassing.

I ♥ Shakespeare.
