Edward de Vere; The True Shakespeare
For many years, there has been the debate between Stratfordians and Oxfordians, of whether William Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare’s plays and poems, or if Edward de Vere was the author. There has been the suspicion that Shakespeare in fact did not write the plays and poems. Oxfordians support this idea and believe that Edward de Vere wrote the plays and poems, while Stratfordians believe that William Shakespeare was the true author. Because of Shakespeare’s lack of education, de Vere’s position with nobility, and the similarities between Shakespeare and de Vere’s writing, it is evident that Edward de Vere is indeed the true Shakespeare. ... While looking at clues with names, it is understood why Edward de Vere is the true author of Shakespeare’s poems and plays. When William Shakespeare signed his name, he spelled his name Shak, while in all published plays and poems it is spelled Shake (Barren Internet). Many people ask why he chose the name Shakespeare, and why he didn’t use his name. ... For this reason, de Vere would have needed a pen name (Beginner’s Guide Internet). In the royal court, Edward de Vere was nicknamed Spear-shaker. He was given this name because of his ability to compete in tournaments, and his coat of arms featured a lion brandishing a spear (Edward de Vere’s Nickname).
