William 'Some-Other-Guy' Shakespeare

(1564-1616)

Okay, folks, here's the deal. I've been swamped with e-mail on the whole Marlowe-as-author-of-the-works-of-Shakespeare controversy. (Well, actually, it was three pieces of e-mail, all from the same person.) But the point is, there are quite a few places out there which are hotly debating the whole question. So here you are:

If you believe Marlowe was the author of the Shakespeare works, go here.
If you believe Sir Francis Bacon was the author, go here.
If you believe Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford, was the author, go here.
If you believe William Shakespeare wrote William Shakespeare, go here or here.

Be prepared for flames in all locations. (This whole controversy is one reason why I didn't do a Shakespeare biography...I was hoping to avoid the whole mess. It's scary.)
