Exploring the evidence that the works of Shakespeare were written by Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford 

The Merry Wives of Windsor in the Guardian

Under the heading “Need Proof who wrote Shakespeare’s Plays? See the Merry Wives of Windsor”, the Guardian critic Michael Billington wrote this:  https://www.theguardian.com/stage/article/2024/may/20/proof-who-wrote-shakespeare-plays-see-the-merry-wives-of-windsor

Derek Jacobi and Margo Anderson wrote a rebuttal which The Guardian published on June 13th:

“The Merry Wives of Windsor offers strong evidence that Shakespeare was not its author” https://www.theguardian.com/stage/article/2024/jun/13/the-merry-wives-of-windsor-offers-strong-evidence-that-shakespeare-was-not-its-author

And two days ago this woefully ignorant ad hominem riposte was published: https://www.commonreader.co.uk/p/shakespeare-wrote-shakespeare.

Facts, anyone?
