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

An essay for the 400th anniversary of the First Folio

John Shahan is founder and chairman of the Shakespeare Authorship Coalition and principal author of the Declaration of Reasonable Doubt About the Identity of William Shakespeare. 

The First Folio of 1623 is claimed by academics be a confirmation or proof of the traditional theory that the author was the man from Stratford.

In response, John Shahan, founder of the Shakespeare Authorship Coalition, has written a masterful essay in which he nails all the key points for why the Folio screams authorship doubt.
