Martin Shakspere

For all of you that are interested in literature and especially Shakespearian, you may find the below article interesting. In this article Doung Wilson lays out the evidence that William Shakespeare of Stratford-on-Avon was not the true author of the plays bearing his name.

Here the view that Edward de Vere was the real Shakespeare is presented which unkown to some is the predominant view among the “anti-Stratfordians” today, although a number of other non-Stratfordian names have been suggested, including, but not limited to, Francis Bacon, Christopher Marlowe, and Queen Elizabeth herself. Among the “anti-Stratfordians” generally we find such luminaries as Henry James, Mark Twain, Sigmund Freud, Orson Wells, and Kenneth Branaugh. A subset of the anti-Stratfordians are a group called the Oxfordians, who claim that the honors should go to de Vere.

Anyways the article is interesting and begins on page of the PDF file that is linked below.
