Supreme Court Debates Who Wrote Shakespeare

I've read Ogburn, now I'm reading Anderson. No question in my mind de Vere, possibly with a little help from his friends, is the true author.

I wish the Nightline show (which got me interested in the first place) were still available.

Thanks for posting.

Please would you tell me where I can read more about the Shakespeare debate?

Notice that the attorney says the Earl of Oxford did not care about his reputation because he hung out with "lewd" people.
He hung out with poets, dramatists, and writers. THIS WORKS FOR THE EARL OF OXFORD case, not against it. I'm surprised Stevens didn't pick up on that logical mistake. NONE OF THE ROYALS wrote in their own names. Sir Philip Sydney's poems were posthumous in his name, btw.

Justice Stevens DID point out, at the end, that this seems to work for the de Vere camp: "sounds like the conduct of a playwright!"...

the lewd characters de Vere hung out with were actors and writers for the common stage. That is a fatal flaw in the presentation given by the Stratfordian lawyer.

Notice he says de Vere hung out with "lewd" people? Who were they? ACTORS AND WRITERS FOR THE COMMON STAGE!!!!! I'm surprised Stevens didn't jump on that fatal mistake with both feet. No means or motive for having a pen-name? That flies in the face of the historical record, which was controlled by de Vere's inlaws at the time, and new info. by orthodox scholars reveals more pen-names than previously believed.

Kindly explain why Mark Twain, and Walt Whitman, two exponents of the common man, called B.S. on the Stratford myth? Were they snobs? Shakespeare is the voice of a courtier, an interior view of Elizabeth's inner circle. Only a royal with license from her could parody ruthless royals. De Vere fits the profile in a thousand ways, and if you took the time to study up on de Vere, it would most likely be your opinion as well. CHEERS, it's so fascinating!!!!

Music and Art are different than literature, which requires, in the case of Shakespeare's canon, a VERY good education, and access to books which were as expensive as a new car today. Remember that de Vere's son in law was the dedicatee, along with his brother, who was at one time engaged to another of his daughters. They paid for a very expensive project. Why? Follow the money. It's a fascinating story. It points to de Vere.

This is a waste of time.The Bard wrote it get over yourselves.

Also remember the roots to a lot of todays music comes from folk and blues artist. The songwriters where from the same low income lifestyle, and yet totaly changed the direction of music.
