Q#445


WHOSE PICTURE IS MISSING? ID AND CONNECT!
(QUESTION COURTESY-BEDANGA KASHYAP)

ANS: THE MISSING MAN IS SHAKESPEARE
Other man are
1. Edward De
Vere 17th Earl of Oxford
2. Sir Francis Bacon
3. Christopher Marlowe
4. William Stanley-6th Earl of Derby
They are all authors, and they are related to Shakespeare with controversies on ownership of their work “Shakespeare authorship question”.
Details of controvery is as follows:
1. The case for Oxford’s authorship is also based on perceived similarities between Oxford’s biography and events in Shakespeare’s plays.
2. Mainstream scholars criticise Bacon’s attributed poetry as too dissimilar to Shakespeare’s for it to have been written by the same person.
3. Marlowe may have faked his death and then continued to write under the assumed name of William Shakespeare.
4.Asserting a similarity with the name “William Shakespeare”, supporters of the Stanley candidacy note that Stanley’s first name was William, his initials were W. S., and he was known to sign himself, “Will”. They also cite biographical parallels between his life and incidents in the plays
