You know, over the years, I've read that Shakespeare's stuff was written by about a dozen different people and not him. It could be true because I've seen, and had, bosses that contributed nothing but took full credit for my work, so if that is what old Billy did, then I guess he was ahead of his time.

No, he was no ordinary person.
If it had been more than one person his works would not have the cohesion, nor could they likely have rounded up so many geniuses at one time, in one generation.
