Believe it or not, when I was securing an elite liberal arts education at Bowdoin College, I actually studied the poetry of Fulke Greville. He wasn't Shakespeare, not by a damn sight.

Key sentence:

The parochial council also wants the sarcophagus to be opened because it believes that any new evidence will bring extra visitors and save the church, the foundations of which date back 900 years, from bankruptcy...

Ben Jonson, rival and contemporary (and good friend) of Shakespeare, helped collect, organize, and edit the First Folio of Shakespeare's works. He also contributed one of a number of dedicatory introductions, in which he referred to Shakespeare by name, and called him "sweet swan of Avon", and best known perhaps is this tribute -- "He was not of an age, but for all time !".

Guess Ben Jonson was one of the masterminds of the conspiracy. ;')

I had the pleasure of getting a great price on that Michael Wood documentary on Shakespeare, and have watched it twice since July. There's a cool segment where a couple of British stage actors who mostly work in the Elizabethan idiom joke about the differences between Christopher "Kit" Marlowe -- who has also been claimed to have been the "real" author of Shakespeare's works -- and Shakespeare. After one gives an illustrative example (soliloquies), the other says, you'll never find an actor who believes that they were the same person. :')

A fun Oh So Mysteriouso topic, worth a ping I think.

To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,

It's a Fulkeing tradegdy.

I thought the true author of Shakespeare’s Works was an infinite number of monkeys?

As far as the books go my bet is on the termites.

"Fulke spent the equivalent of £300,000 today on a marble sarcophagus at St Mary's. No man would build something like that and leave it empty. There is definitely something down there and we want to find out what it is."

What means this? Isn't Lord Dedboddy in there?

I think the real Shakespeare was the Queen of England, Elizabeth I, who, by all accounts knew about medicine, history, astro travel, law, book keeping, dentistry, astronomy and poisons. What she didn't know she had the trusted Earl of Oxford and Francis Bacon to advise and inform her. Between wars with Spain she always had a lot of time on her hands and this was a constructive way to keep her idle hands busy. Not having any children she was free to read her Machiavelli, spawn and quash some court intrigues and play the biggest literary prank known to only a few of her most devoted sycophants.

Why do so many people believe in Shakespeare conspiracy theories?

Well, duh, why do so many believe in contemporary conspiracy theories . . . .

Are there any accessible databases on the Internet with the original texts from Shakespeare, i.e. not adjusted text transcribed into modern (or semi-modern) English. The original language with typos etc.
