Who was William Shakespeare? Seems to be that this question is wandering around in many critics' minds. Really, who was he? In this article below, the author believes that Shakespeare was not a son of a glover and claims Shakespeare was not a write, but an actor. It also states that Shakespeare's life evidence is very minimal and there were six different signatures found which said, "Shakespeare". The analysists believe maybe a group of people made this fictional "Shakespeare" up because for him to be a son of a glover meant he was poor, and if we was poor, he wouldn't have much knowledge about royalty. But then again, advocates argue that he was taught many things such as royalty.
"That's a modern image of the writer as someone who puts his own experiences into his plays, a very romantic idea of writing. But it's just not how plays were written back then."
The Coalition's "Declaration of Reasonable Doubt" doesn't claim to know who wrote Shakespeare's plays, but it asks that the question "should, henceforth, be regarded in academia as a legitimate issue for research and publication."
Then there's the apparent disconnect between the life that William Shakespeare lived and the ones he wrote about. Anti-Stratfordians claim that Shakespeare's plays show a keen grasp of literature, language, court life and foreign travel — not the kinds of things that a small-town actor without a university education would be familiar with.
