To hell with Edward De Vere
I have to admit I'm one of those people who enjoys indulging in a little historical speculation when the opportunity presents itself. While a lot of the great mysteries have been uncovered in recent years (David Geffen and Mark Felt), there's still a big fish in the pond: the Shakespearean authorship debate.
It's a classic debate because it has so many different angles and because the heterodox opinions have some high profile champions. And from the looks of it, it's also a case that is about to be reopened. James Shapiro has a new book out this month in which he explores the history of the authorship debate from a decidedly Stratfordian viewpoint (i.e. he believes Shakespeare was the real author). I'm pretty excited for this, as I hope it will finally put those snooty Oxfordians in their place.
