Shakespeare
“To be, or not to
be, that is the question.” Surely, that is one of the most famous lines from
any dramatic play ever written. And of course everyone knows that the author of
the line was William Shakespeare. Or was it?
Most scholars of
Elizabethan literature agree that William Shakespeare wrote the plays and
sonnets that are credited to him. But every now and then, a new essay or book is
published that says it has proof that someone else, not Shakespeare, was the
author of such classics as Romeo and Juliet, Othello, and Hamlet.
The people who
challenge Shakespeare’s authorship are called anti-Stratfordians, a reference
to Shakespeare’s birthplace, Stratford-upon-Avon. Doubting Shakespeare first
became popular in the middle of the 19th century. By this time, Shakespeare had
become an international icon; many said he was the greatest writer of all time.
To some, this seemed unbelievable. Anti-Stratfordians argue that Shakespeare
lacked the education and aristocratic experience needed to write plays like
Richard III and Julius Caesar. Over the centuries, a number of important public
figures have been persuaded by these arguments, including Mark Twain, Charlie
Chaplin, and Sigmund Freud.
The three most
popular theories are that Shakespeare’s plays were written by a group of
writers, or by another professional writer of the time, or by a member of the
nobility who did not want his name associated with the theater. This third
theory is the basis for a 2011 movie titled Anonymous. This film argues that
Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, was the real author of Shakespeare’s
plays. The movie is full of intrigue and mystery, centered on a plot against
Queen Elizabeth I. In order to save his son from execution, de Vere agrees to
never reveal that he is the true Shakespeare. The movie received mixed reviews
from both film critics and audiences, and few were persuaded by the
anti-Stratfordian theory.
While few people
really believe Shakespeare did not write his plays, there is new evidence that
he did sometimes work with other authors. This was a very common practice at
the time. Shakespeare was a practical businessman as well as theater artist,
and co-writing his plays would have just been the smart thing to do.
a) true b)
false c) not stated
1) Everybody knows at least one line from Shakespeare.
2) Most intellectuals of Shakespeare’s time believed that
he wrote all his works himself.
3) All anti-Stratfordians are the people who were not
born in Stratford-upon-Avon.
4) It was only in the 19-th century when it became
fashionable to doubt Shakespeare’s authorship.
5) Charlie Chaplin and Mark Twain argued
anti-Stratfordians’ point of view.
6) Of hundreds versions who could hide under the name of
Shakespeare there are only three reliable.
7) The plot of the movie Anonymous is centered around the
intrigue of who the real Shakespeare was.
8) There could be several authors who worked with
Shakespeare on all his plays.
