Description

Two university professors report on the results of ten years of research into the Shakespeare authorship controversy, showing that the name William Shakespeare was definitely a pseudonym for Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, and that Oxford wrote under a range of pseudonyms.

if you don't take a certain very sick delight in reading Chomsky on linguistics, then you will find this book looney. If you can plod into the deep linguistic congruences, this book can blow your mind. The author studied under Chomsky, and his detailed scientific detective work show this. I'm halfway through and am enjoying it a great deal.
One of the looniest anti-Stratfordian tomes ever written, made more outlandish by the fact that the authors hold academic positions at a legitimate university. They argue that Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxenford wrote not just the works of Shakespeare but all other Elizabethan literature: Marlowe, Spenser, Sidney, Lyly, Peele et al.
