William Shakespeare


Anyone who ever studied English knows who William Shakespeare is.

Or do they?

Holders of literature and history degrees have pondered throughout the years about the real identity of the prolific playwright. This is partly because there’s only very little evidence left behind about his life. There are theories that suggest that William Shakespeare is more than one person, or that it is merely a pseudonym used by Sir Francis Bacon or Christopher Marlowe. Nobody knows for sure until this day.
