One single person wrote ALL the plays credited to the name William Shakespeare (with the exception of the first and last which may have had assistance). NOT one of the pretenders to the throne can match the beginning and ending dates of those plays' creation. Therefore, whoever wrote them wrote them all. And since there IS evidence that a guy named William Shakespeare, who had a Grammar School education (after all, his father was a big muckamuck in Stratford, however small a pond that was) spent time in London theatre and did some writing (read Ben Jonson!), Occam's Razor (Isn't that the correct reference?) demands the most parsimonious solution. William Shakespeare wrote the plays credited to William Shakespeare.Posted by Queen MAB on April 01, 1997 at 13:24:36
