William Shakespeare was actually a black woman, feminist historian and LSE graduate claims in new book

William Shakespeare was a 'black Jewish woman', a new book has claimed.

The real playwright is identified as the historical figure Emilia Bassano in The Real Shakespeare, by an LSE graduate and feminist historian.

She was a poet with connections to the Tudor court and wrote the Shakespearean canon of plays using the pen-name 'Shakespeare', according to the book.

But her work is said to have been stolen from an uneducated interloper - William Shakespeare - from Stratford-upon-Avon.

The book's author Irene Coslet argues that the idea of a 'white' genius was preferred to Bassano's identity as a black female playwright.

BS. Black women were NOT writing plays in Elizabethan Great Britain. WHITE WOMEN were not writing plays in Elizabethan Great Britain. Neither were writing much that anyone would read.

Shameless BS

There are other silly theories that Shakespeare didn’t really write his book lays. Theory had Queen Elizabeth the First writing them.

[cowboyusa]

Write his plays.

🙄 At least she would have had enough education.

Rather amusing is revisionist history. If Shakespeare was a black women in Stafford on Avon it would have been noticed to say the least. The problem with the original post is why such insanity is even written in the Daily Mail.

I choked HARD for a while just reading the headline,
ok now..

This newly discovered painting proves that William Shakespeare was indeed Diana Ross.

Forgot to add I have been in his home which was actually his wife’s parents home. It was modest with a large garden. By the standards then it was upper middle class almost upper class.

So was Hitler.

Funny. I remember reading in my junior high textbook that was so desperate to give black credit for anything that some black guy in Georgia invented penny butter.

Turns out it was invented by a Canadian. Go look In Wikipedia
