TALK Like Shakespear Day-April A-Z

 

Forsooth, today is Talk like Shakespeare Day and also believed to be Shakespeare's birthday.  A lot of controversy around whether ol' Will actually wrote what is attributed to him swirls around the literary world. Some scholars, those jackanapes and canker-blossoms.  have maintained that Shakespeare did not write the Shakespeare plays, with at least fifty writers having been suggested as the “real” author. They question how a provincial who never went to college or wandered very far from Stratford and London, could know so much about international affairs and history, as well as royal courts. Methinks it matters not, after 400 or so years, the combined works are amazing. It is known that he did collaborate with other playwrights and there are a number of lost manuscripts that could have been attributed to him gone forever
