So are the signatures of my doctor. You should see some of the contemporary writing in court documents. Spelling was not standardized, nor was the physical appearance of letterforms. We also have the manuscript of the play Sir Thomas More, where Shakespeare's hand is generally conceded to be that of "Hand D," which contributed a small section to the play.
Of course, Oxfordians, if they are aware of the Hand D question, reject Shakespeare as the author since it would demolish the case for Oxford at a single blow.

Of course, Oxfordians, if they are aware of the Hand D question, reject Shakespeare as the author since it would demolish the case for Oxford at a single blow. The fact that Oxford kicked it in 1604 would have made it rather difficult for him to write any of the later plays, like MacBeth, Lear, or Tempest. He was dead, Jim.
I wonder why these folk never contend that DeVerre was the one writing Marlowe's plays?
