His works have been studied all over the world by millions of people; it's hard to think that this amazing, historical writer could be a fraud... But did he write his will, or did someone else write it for him? Very interesting point about Shakespeare!

But did he write his will, or did someone else write it for him?

Her well documented and reasoned conclusion is that although the Stratford Shakespeare was an actor, play broker, loan shark, and grain horder, among other things, there is no contemporaneous evidence that the Stratford Shakespeare wrote anything literary. An equally excellent presentation of the case for the identification of Edward DeVere as the author Shakespeare is given in Mark Anderson's book Shakespeare By Another Name. The circumstantial evidence presented by Anderson is so extensive, and fascinating, as to be thoroughly persuasive. I highly recommend both books for anyone interested in this subject. Robert N.

So much more remains to be found out about that document. In fact, I blogged about your post here: http://shakespearebyanothername.blogspot.com/2009/09/mystery-writer-ponders-whodunnit.html Thanks!
