Dare I ??? I shall.... A Shakespearian work, signed by any other name... would still read as sweet. LOL
Actually - the whole ball of wax in a nutshell, to mix metaphors

Actually that was Bobby's idea. He got sick of all those protest songs I was sending him. And I admit, I was stuck in a rut rewriting all those Woody Guthrie songs. I was getting lazy and Bobby made me work harder. So I wrote "Like A Rolling Stone" and the rest is history.
I'll say one thing, the royalty checks started getting a lot bigger after that. And Bobby enjoyed performing a lot more once the smelly hippies and Commies stopped going to his concerts.

The plays were not written by Shakespeare, but by another man of the same name.

Mark Twain was really his own twin brother. After all, it was the infant Mark who drowned in the bath-tub.

I’m not that interested in “exposing” Shakespeare, just parodying him.

No one doubts that there WAS a guy named Shakespeare.We know that he was an actor. Just as some actors try to be writers today, why wouldn't ith ve happened then?

I’m reminded of one of my English professors talking about “Timon of Athens.” She said, “It’s terrible hakespeare. it would be great for you and me, but it’s terrible Shakespeare.”
The burden of genius.

I think the assumption is that a nobleman wouldn't want to be associated with the theater. He could write verses, but not dramas for the general public.
Mark Twain is quoted as saying: "The works of Shakespeare were either written by Shakespeare or by another man of the same name."
Even if there's truth in the theories, it's the sort of think a lot of people don't want to get involved in because of all the cranks.
Sadly, after a century of speculation, thes theories, like the origins of the Federal Reserve and a few other topics I couldn mention, have become the preserve of kooks.

That Bacon could have been Shakespeare is thoroughly impossible. We have so much of Bacon’s writing to compare with Shakespeare’s. No writer could completely change their style, especially over that much writing.

I’ve always told people that my favorite English playwright was Edward Devere, the Earl of Oxford. Only 5% of the folks I have mentioned this to understand what I am saying.

He didn’t write ‘em; but after he died, his friends spent their own money to publish his works—under his name—so they wouldn’t be lost.

You really think that poncey, spoiled diletante could have written any of Shakespeare’s plays? Read the poems known to be his, and you will change your mind.
