De Vere/Shakespeare

Scholars have debated who wrote the plays, sonnets and longer poems published under the name Shakespeare.

For a variety of reasons, this understanding makes little sense. The most likely author of the works is Edward De Vere, the Seventeenth Earl of Oxford. The evidence is in the close relationship between the life of Edward de Vere, and the content of the plays, sonnets and longer poems.
