<< Just how William Shakespeare (1564-1616) could have written the world's
greatest plays has long puzzled historians and psychologists. There is no
documentary evidence that William ever attended Stratford's excellent Grammar
School -- though the civic status of his father [a glover and wool dealer]
would have entitled him to do so. At age 18, William married his pregnant
girlfriend, Anne Hathaway, 26. By age 20, he had become the father of three
children, including two twins [a boy and a girl] so sought work with a
theatrical touring company which took him to London. Essentially, the question
has been one of whether largely untutored Shakespeare could have been
sufficient to the writing of plays involving a good knowledge of Greek, Roman,
Italian and English history -- together with awareness of the latest advances
in astronomy (as in Hamlet, where a starburst is mentioned that had only just
been observed by English courtiers). >>
It is even more difficult to believe it if one reads an example of his writing
at the same age as his marriage and then compares it to the material
attributed to him just a few years later. No one can improve that much in so
little time. Prudy
