Shakespeare Devere Questions

By Lisa Dawn


Where have I heard that name before?

Till fairly recently, it was probably attached to the deVere Group, a large hotel chain. That's changed though courtesy of a new movie called Secret, which repeats the claim that de Vere wrote all of Shakespeare's works and was also Queen Elizabeth I's bastard son and incestuous lover.

Who plays this secret genius?

Edward devere is played by Welsh star Rhys Ifans while child Rafe Spall is his hapless, and murdering drunk, of a front man. Ironically, 2 top Shakespearean actors, ma and daughter Vanessa Redgrave and Joely Richardson tackle the role of Elizabeth, while another, Derek Jacobi offers a controversial prologue.

Didn't Shakespeare write Shakespeare's plays?

Most all the proof we have does indeed confirm that William Shakespeare wrote the 37 plays and tons of other works that carry his name. Sadly there isn't very much of it and it isn't of great quality. At most there are 6 examples of his signature on record and, for a top flight writer; he appeared to have a large amount of trouble spelling his name. Shakespearean students "almost all of whom hate the supposed authorship query "argue that while there's not too much proof in favour of William there's a load more than there is for de Vere, because, for him, there isn't any.

Why do folks insist in pushing Oxford's claims?

De Vere was a published poet and wrote plays, although none survive, he was also an animated patron of the humanities.

Why would anybody pretend not to have written these great plays if they'd?

Shakespeare's plays might seem dry and dusty nowadays, but in their day they touched on some very arguable subjects. Talking about the behavior of an absolute sovereign, as Shakespeare did, was a good way to lose it. Oxfordians, disagree the works were too hot for a well-known courtier to handle.

Could Shakespeare have been somebody other than de Vere?

As fast as Shakespeare became actually popular, folks started to doubt such a humble man could write so much and so well. De Vere has been the most recent favorite for the job, but he was preceded by controversial playwriter Christopher Marlowe, artistically inclined nobleman the 6th Earl of Derby and Renaissance man Sir Francis Bacon. Group Speculation is also popular, given the size and reach of the Shakespearean catalog, and other names such as Sir Walter Raleigh's get thrown in to the mix here.

What do Mark Twain, Helen Keller, Henry James, Sigmund Freud, Charlie Chaplin and Orson Welles all have in common?
