who wrote Shakespeare.s works?

[Rumpel]

who?

 

[nota bene]

Sir Francis Bacon is believed by many to have been the real "Shakespeare" because of his erudition, including his knowledge of court.

 

[Stealers Wheel]

There is a school of thought that says Wm Shakespeare was a collective nom de plum of many writers who feared the wrath of the king should they be discovered as being the author of works that mocked or ridiculed the crown. By everyone blaming the fictional Shakespeare, they protected themselves and their colleagues as the king would order wild goose chases.

 

[Rumpel]

my vote goes to Marlowe

for good reasons

good idea!

william existed … but only as actor and theatre manager

I'll go with Shakespeare as the author. In 500 years, CTers will probably be speculating that someone else wrote It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) because Bob Dylan was very young and the composition is genius. BTW, if you want to look it up, it's on Bringing It All Back Home.

How We Know That Shakespeare Wrote Shakespeare: The Historical Facts

Conclusion​

How do we know that Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare? We know because the historical record tells us so, strongly and unequivocally. The historical evidence demonstrates that one and the same man, William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon, was William Shakespeare the player, William Shakespeare the Globe-sharer, and William Shakespeare the author of the plays and poems that bear his name -- and no person of the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras ever doubted the attribution. No Elizabethan ever suggested that Shakespeare's plays and poems were written by someone else, or that Shakespeare the player was not Shakespeare the author, or that Shakespeare the Globe-sharer was not Shakespeare of Stratford. No contemporary of Shakespeare's ever suggested that the name used by the player, the Globe-sharer, or the author was a pseudonym; and none of the major alternative candidates -- not Francis Bacon, not the Earl of Oxford, not Christopher Marlowe -- had any connection with Shakespeare's acting company or with his friends and fellow actors.

Few Shakespearean scholars support the anti-Stratfordian view: https://www.vox.com/2016/4/22/11480192/shakepeare-400-anti-stratfordian-authorship-controversy

Harrison Messerole brought the World Shakespeare Bibliography from Penn State (and part of the price was the transportation of his orchids in refrigerated trucks to the tune of $10K in 1970's money), and although he is only one scholar, I can say that Jim Harner thinks Shakespeare was Shakespeare. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Shakespeare_Bibliography

no …. we do not know this

 

[Exquisitor]

who?

The Misfit wrote Shakespeare. He was Francis Bacon, previously Columbus, Saint Alban, Joseph the Lord's guardian and Samuel.

He accepted a bribe as Attorney General and got fired. A couple of years later he was doing some work on refrigeration with chicken carcasses, caught a cold and died and found himself undead, so he took a new persona and traveled Europe as an alchemist diplomat. He could mend flaws in gems, precipitate elixir and show no age. Eventually the inquisition caught up with him for showing the profane and was tortured two years before he would be released by angels after which he traveled to the Himalayas and made his Ascension.

By 1800 he had founded America and was tutoring Napoleon, hoping to found a United States of Europe, but Napoleon came up with his own idea eventually chastising the West for slaughtering the Indian Cattle. Napoleon went on to be Eisenhower and is now from the UP. The Misfit put a lot of the personalities themselves in Michigan. There is David, Saul and Solomon. Michigan is shaped like an angel. Other places people show up is Maui and Seattle. The Beast (ruler of the 6:00am) is from Seattle.

There you have it. In the 1920s or so, the Misfit contacted Washington who had married Franklin/Joan of Ark and they started the I am movement. The Misfit is the God of Justice, nephew to Yamaraj lord of death and underworld, Lord of the seventh Ray (purple) and the second created being. The second to begin being created. Washington is the fifth.

[Mircea]

who?

Shakespeare wrote nearly all of them. There is some question as to whether Marlowe wrote one or two of them.

How We Know That Shakespeare Wrote Shakespeare: The Historical Facts

You should probably black-list that website because it's totally freaking useless and those moron have no understanding of anything.

Conclusion
How do we know that Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare? We know because the historical record tells us so, strongly and unequivocally.

Yet they fail to provide a single shred of evidence.

The historical evidence demonstrates that one and the same man, William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon, was William Shakespeare the player, William Shakespeare the Globe-sharer, and William Shakespeare the author of the plays and poems that bear his name -- and no person of the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras ever doubted the attribution.

Lack of doubt is not evidence.

No Elizabethan ever suggested that Shakespeare's plays and poems were written by someone else, or that Shakespeare the player was not Shakespeare the author, or that Shakespeare the Globe-sharer was not Shakespeare of Stratford.

Suggestions are not evidence.

No contemporary of Shakespeare's ever suggested that the name used by the player, the Globe-sharer, or the author was a pseudonym; and none of the major alternative candidates -- not Francis Bacon, not the Earl of Oxford, not Christopher Marlowe -- had any connection with Shakespeare's acting company or with his friends and fellow actors.

Lack of suggestions or connections are not evidence.

Not only does your erroneous source fail to provide even one piece of evidence, they're entire view is 100% anachronistic.

Maybe if Shakespeare was writing in the last 30 years they're irrelevant claims might hold some weight but still not rise to the level of evidence.

Plus they lack moral and ethical integrity by addressing the real issue. In other words, they lied.

There's something called forensic document analysis. Everyone has a unique style of writing, the order of elements (nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs) and go to phrases and buzzwords in addition to unique phraseology.

Forensic document analysis is how the so-called Unabomber was identified and many other criminals as well as verifying the authenticity of other works over history.

The two most well-known are the Hebrew and Greek texts. Jeremiah and Hilkiah had a thing for the phrase "to this day" which is how we know they committed pious fraud and forged Deuteronomy and then heavily emended, amended and redacted the first four books.

For example, X-Moses' real name was probably Amenmoses or Anmoses (meaning "emanated/emanating from Amen" or "emanated/emanating from An) and Jeremiah and Hilkiah would have found the use of an Egyptian deity to be totally offensive and so they just struck it from the texts leaving "Moses" ("emanated/emanating from").

It's also how we know the Hebrew works existed as 3 separate texts written by 3 different people and then edited over the centuries by editors and we can identify the editors because of their writing style and phraseology and then those 3 texts were combined into one and we know one person had a hand in that because of their phraseology.

Well, actually four separate texts because the Abrahamic text was a separate text.

Some of Shakespeare's plays are questionable. There's a couple of plays about kings that Shakespeare did not write but he was a co-author and they were published under his name.

Something your anachronistic source doesn't understand is that someone read a play, it sounded a lot like Shakespeare and so it was attributed to Shakespeare. That is not a forgery but it is a misattribution.

A couple of others like Lord Cromwell are clearly not Shakespeare. It isn't his style and isn't his phraseology and not his go to buzzwords. That's either a misattribution or someone published it under Shakespeare's name.

Your anachronistic source doesn't understand that they didn't have driver's licenses and they didn't have TV so if some guy came into your printing shop and said "I'm William Shakespeare and I want you to print this up" you wouldn't question it at all.
