"Shakespearean Authorship" refers to the debate surrounding the true authorship of the works attributed to William Shakespeare, the renowned English playwright and poet. While most scholars agree that Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon wrote the plays and sonnets published under his name, some alternative theories suggest that other individuals, such as Francis Bacon or Edward de Vere, the Earl of Oxford, may have been the true authors. This controversy has persisted for centuries, fueled by the lack of concrete evidence about Shakespeare's life and education. Supporters of the traditional view argue that the depth of knowledge and experience reflected in the works aligns with Shakespeare's background, while skeptics point to perceived gaps in his biography as reasons to question his authorship.
