What does /lit/ think of the Baconian theory of Shakespeare authorship? As far as I can tell there's no real evidence it happened, but also no evidence otherwise...
>first day of class on shakespeare
>someone asks professor if shakespeare wrote under a pseudonym or the plays were written by someone else
>professor says "We're not supposed to discuss that in this english department, but I will say that i've not seen a shred of evidence that this occurred, yet it is interesting that this theory keeps coming up, and..."
>suddenly random girl has a seizure
>everyones in panic while we get campus health
>class dismissed
Somewhat suspicious to me.

There is nothing more plebian than discussing alternate Shakespeare authorship. It's literally only done by edgy pseuds.
