Exploring the evidence that the works of Shakespeare were written by Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford
The Shakespeare Authorship Question has been called the greatest literary mystery of all time. Is it possible the wrong person has been credited with writing the plays and poems of Shakespeare? If so, how would that affect our understanding of these works and their historical context?
The Shakespeare Oxford Fellowship explores the evidence that the true author was Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, using the pen name “William Shakespeare.”
