SHAKESPEARE WROTE SHAKESPEARE
Use the Internet information linked below to answer these questions specifically related to SHAKESPEARE WROTE SHAKESPEARE:
1. How is the spelling and pronunciation of Shakespeare's name important to investigate?
On the birth certificate of William Shakespeare, is said Shakespere as well as on his will. This difference in spelling challenges the idea that Shakespere wrote the plays because the plays were signed Shakespeare. And was signed W. shake-speare
2. What are the Oxfordian claims that Shakespeare is responsible for everything he produced? Can these claims be refuted?
"There are actually Oxfordians who believe that most plays of the era were written by noblemen in disguise. One Oxfordian I met claimed (after some prodding by me) that "John Webster" was actually a pseudonym for Mary Herbert, the Countess of Pembroke. I've gotten other Oxfordians to make similar concessions, though they're usually pretty vague about who wrote what. I think most people would be much less receptive to a theory that says that not only Shakespeare, but the bulk of Elizabethan drama was written by noblemen who used the identities of real middle-class men as fronts. But that's the logical outcome of Oxfordian methods, if they're applied consistently. It would be an absolute piece of cake for me to prove that the historical Christopher Marlowe, John Fletcher, Francis Beaumont, or John Webster did not write the plays attributed to them, if I used Oxfordian methods." The Oxfordians therefore believed that Shakespeare did indeed write his own plays.
3. Why is it important to preserve the authorship status of William Shakespeare
It is important the preserve the authorship status of William Shakespeare so that future generations can credit the author and use this evidence to find out who the real author is. And if we changes the author then found out that it was really someone else, then no one would truly know who wrote what.
4. What is the most convincing evidence that leads us to believe that Shakespeare did in fact, write Shakespeare?
All of us were taught that Shakespeare wrote all the plays that he is credited for. He lived throughout the entire times that the plays were in publication. "Indeed, abundant evidence testifies to the fact that William Shakespeare of Stratford wrote the works published under his name, and this evidence is as extensive and direct as the evidence for virtually any of Shakespeare's contemporaries."
5. What type of logic/illogic is used to support these claims?
These claims are supported by the documents crudities to Shakespeare, "Oxfordians claim that Edward de Vere could not have been named as the author of Shakespeare's works because doing so would have violated the Elizabethan social code, which prohibited aristocrats from having works published under their own names." Shakespeare's plays are also missing.
