I also believe Bacon was the writer of the plays. Unfortunately the English literature establishment will not question Shakespeare, for the exact reasons they stated right away in this article. It is to them about equality and class struggle, so its an emotional issue.

There is no way that Bacon could have written the works attributed to Shakespeare, because we have too much writing by Bacon to compare it with. No one could develop a second writing style, so developed, over more than 37 plays, that was completely contradictory to their own style. Whoever wrote Shakespeare's work had a unique style and use of words that was repeated consistently. There is no way that this style was developed completely independently of a writer's earlier works. A writer can't even control some of these characteristics. I suppose someone willa argue that Bacon had a severe mental illness with mulitiple personalities. The fact is, it's more likely that Queen Elizabeth I wrote Shakespeare's work, because there is less writing by her for comparison.

For the same reasons Shakespeare's work could not be written by a group of writers. His collected body of work was obviously written by the same person.

There is nothing to support your fantasy but fantasy.
