Are you 100% certain that this barely educated son of a glover

Yes.

Yes, fuck your conspiracy theories

I'm not even 100% sure you exist.

Francis Bacon wrote them.

Jacob Moreno wrote them

Shakespeare's were filled to the brim with dick jokes and crass humor. They only became revered in retrospect.

Did men back then really wear earrings? That seems so modern and anachronistic.

You are aware that he may have attended his local grammar school?

Check the right. This is based on an early 17th-Century Grammar School curriculum, which suggests what Shakespeare may have learned there.

As you see above, Shakespeare was likely enrolled in grammar school at age seven, in the year 1571. These represent 12-hour schooldays. Shakespeare's Catholic schoolteachers were being persecuted at the time, so we can assume that they eased off a lot of the Latin curriculum and favoured summaries.

Nevertheless, this is how it looks as he gets older. Now, apparently today's Grammar Schools would consider Sixth Form as 'Senior', but Shakespeare is still a young person when he's being taught these things. You'll find his age in brackets on the left.

Most of them are just older Greek or Roman names, or the method in which you learn the Latin language.

Anyway, with respect to this picture, it is said that Shakespeare had "small Latin and less Greek" as a result of leaving school around age 14. You have no idea what that means unless you have an idea of what the schools were like at that time in history. Shakespeare didn't get so far as the year in which he would be learning the Greek language.

However (!)... you have to consider the previous years he spent receiving a Classical education. Shakespeare, and most of the upper-class in his vicinity, could not have been ignorant of literary history.

Grammar Schools were apparently less well-rounded than they are today... And so they would have been more aptly named.

These apparently fostered a literary or 'social grammar', or a form of international education aimed at producing a certain type of broad-minded elite. They may not have been a great preparation for their family's trade. The students might have had to rely on their parents, their master, or their international credentials to really make a go of it in life. If they were exceptional students, they might find a place at a university. It looks like more of late medieval education, than an early modern one...

That's partly why Shakespeare would have been pulled out of school in the first place, to learn the more practical business of glove-making.

That's probably a lot to do with why they were so stupid. Maybe should've taught some goddang science.

Also, the term "grammar school" hasn't been used in the US in, like, 60 years.

You should try to find a good book on the subject. Apparently, banking, law, commerce, all fell under the category of Utiliarian Arts... I'm not sure if these were all highly appraised or not.

Are you 100% certain that this barely educated soldier wrote all of the singularly influential and revered novels attributed to him?

You have not experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Klingon.

Shouldn't it be possible to evaluate the syntax of all the Shakespearean works to prove they had a single common author?

The actual spanish counterpart of Shakespeare, Lope, indeed has a lot of works attributed to him that scholars believe weren't written by him. Which is normal considering he is supposed to have written more than 500 plays, maybe more than 1800. Appart from a lot of poetry and some novels.

He was also better than Shakespeare t.b.h.
