People mistake being a great writer with having "special knowledge."

[Borges]

The plays also have a zest for role playing and acting. Who else but a former actor could have conceived it this way. Ben Jonson said Shakespeare knew little Latin and less Greek. Enough to pass though. And there are plenty of anachronisms (clocks in Julis Caesar) as well that bear the sign of lack of scholarhip and haste.

Perhaps there is a possibility that Shakespeare was not the sole author of his plays, but that he had a muse... a patron or partner that provided Shakespeare with the stories that he turned into poetic plays.
