Although there are people who believe that Shakespeare, from Stratford upon Avon wrote the all of the plays, the real Shakespeare Edward de Vere actually wrote them because he had the credentials to.

Edward de Vere is the playwright because he had the education and the wits to write. It should be noted that de Vere spoke many, and almost all of the languages needed to write the plays whereas Stratford upon Avon Shakespeare did not. “De Vere was believed to have spoken Italian, French, and Spanish among other languages.” All of these languages were absolutely needed to write the plays. A commoner from England would not have been bilingual much less trilingual. Also, the Stratford upon Avon Shakespeare did not have an education much less being an Oxford graduate as de Vere was. “Looney states that in one category after another Oxford had the characteristics he had projected: classical education, sympathy for the house of Lancaster in the war of the roses, Roman Catholic learning’s, aristocratic point of view, literary tastes.” And the list goes on and on. This definitively lists out all of the education advantages that Edward de Vere of Oxford had which debunked the Stratfordians claims.

The argument that the Stratfordians put forth, that the Stratford upon Avon Shakespeare was the real guy who wrote all of the magnificent pieces, is not true. This is so, because he did not have any documented evidence of clues linking him to the writings. “One by one, I began to tick off a growing list of verses marked in the de Vere bible which these scholars had identified as influential on Shakespeare.”This is a prime example of the clues needed to validate the anti-stratfordian argument. These are also the clues which the Stratfordians have none of considering the fact that there is no documentation of the Shakespeare from Stratford upon Avon ever having written or read much more than his name.
Also, Stratford upon Avon Shakespeare could not have, and did not travel

    To begin with, the author of the article "Will the Real Shakespeare Please Stand Up?” had a main purpose in which was to question his existence. He wanted to let the readers know that this debate is real and that this debate has not started in recent times but has been going on for a very long time. He states “This is not a new debate. For years, many people have suggested that someone of high birth actually wrote the works and used William of Stratford as a convenient collaborator to help disguise the identity of the actual author.” His main…

    Many scholars, writers, and poets have pondered the question, “Was Shakespeare really Shakespeare?” They’ve done the research, analyzed his works, and compared it to other writers of the time, and there is some pretty damning evidence convincing us that William Shakespeare really isn’t William Shakespeare. What we could assume about his education shows that in school, he was taught reading and writing and not much else. William did not travel very far from his home, leaving us to think “How did someone with little education and even littler knowledge about the countries he “wrote” about, write such marvelous and wonderful pieces of work?” Perhaps “William Shakespeare” was a pseudonym for a more profound, more skilled writer such as Christopher Marlowe or Francis Bacon. Undoubtedly, William Shakespeare is not William Shakespeare someone with very little life experience, and education could not have written such intricately…

    Shakespeare and Edward de Vere had a lot of these in common according to Professor Stanley Wells. He also says that it is not very likely that Edward de Vere would have wrote the plays. It is very likely, however, that William Shakespeare wrote the plays. The video talking about the movie Anonymous and if Shakespeare is real, makes many strong points for why he is the real author and Edward de Vere is not.…

    Shakespeare Authorship

    Furthermore, these theres suggest that the author appears to have a dislike of lower classes. The author of the works also appear to have visited foreign countries, especially Italy, and other languages. Because William Shakespeare was born in a small town in the working class, there is not evidence of education beyond grammar school. Edward de Vere on the other hand was well taught and possessed a great deal of knowledge of the country and Italy, since he had traveled there. Although he died twelve years before Shakespeare, Oxfordians argue that the dates of many plays are not certain and could’ve been written during the de Vere’s lifetime. However, these are some of Shakespeare’s greatest plays such as “The Tempest” and “Macbeth” and were not likely to have been written while Vere was…

    William Shakespeare was an English playwright and poet. He was broadly known as " the greatest writer in the English language." Shakespeare wrote Twelfth Night near the middle of his career and wrote it to entertain people because it was near Christmas time when the first production of the play was first performed. Shakespeare's intention in writing this play was to present a Romantic comedy that explored the theme of love, music, and beauty. He successfully completed this play and used many literary devices, particularly he used allusions. An allusion is when an author makes an indirect reference to an event or figure. Shakespeare had a deep understanding of Roman and Greek mythologies as there are many references in the play and there were…
