Remider that Shakespeare was through and through German.

Let's go through the major candidates shall we?
>De Vere
One of the biggest stretches in logic I've ever read. It's a bunch of people trying their hardest to interpret some of Shakespeare's writing as "connected" to De Vere. It's about as believable as Lewis Carroll being Jack The Ripper.
>Marlowe
While the circumstances surrounding his death are fishy, the styles of Marlowe and Shakespeare are distinctly different. Any similarity can be summed up as inspiration.
>Francis Bacon
It's basically De Vere except it has the graciousness of its subject actually being a popular patron of the arts.
>Derby
The most believable of them all and even then its still a bunch of people taking historical bits and trying to make something out of nothing.

In short, nothing gives credence that any of these people were just faking Shakespeare. Shakepeare was a real person and that's final

Ich weiß nicht warum ihr Deutschen Shakespeare übernehmen willt, wenn ihr Goethe, wer im Grunde sehr ähnlich zu Shakespeare und fast als gut ist, schon habt. Ich kann akzeptieren, dass Shakespeare und seine Werke einen etwas deutschen Charakter haben, aber bitte aneignet euch nicht die Herkunft unseres einzelnen Schatzes und das einzelne Ding, auf dem wir in dieser beschissenen Nation stolz sein können.

>stratford internet defense force right on schedule
In reality the evidence clearly points to Edward de Vere's authorship. If Shakespeare had in fact written the canon so often misattributed to him, he would surely have continued its tradition reveling in the majesty of natural phenomena and mentioned the historic supernova visible even to the naked eye at midday for many weeks in October 1604, and yet no such reference exists, even in passing, for how could it: de Vere was already deceased some 4 months prior to the star's own death!

>He didn't bring up this one event before he died that MUST mean he was De Vere!

Shakespeare was Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford. This should be common knowledge by now. I saw a documentary about it on Amazon Prime.

Ah yes, The Tempest, a play, we're told by the erudite Stratfordists, which was inspired by a private correspondence not published until 1625, nearly a decade after Shakespeare's own death! It would appear not even Shakespeare could have written himself.

The chronology of many of Shakespeare's plays are merely estimates, usually based on their earliest recorded performance or their seeming references to historic events.

In the eternal words of marky mark: can you think of any human being that for any reason wouldn’t want to put his name on hamlet?

[Anonymous No.16403630]

Thomas Pynchon wrote all the comedies, William Gaddis wrote all the histories, they split the tragedies, and Stephen Daedalus was a real person who wrote Hamlet in an ethereal trance state outside of time after Joyce trapped his soul in his writing.
