I read a book some years back that investigated the Shakespeare controversy.....I think it was by John Mitchell.
At any rate several of his points were intriguing.
-One was that he left no books or original play manuscripts to anyone in his family (nor have any ever turned up) yet this was Shakespeare after all...so where did they all go?
-There are apparently only 3 copies of his actual signature yet they are all different. To me that's a bit odd.
-How did a local business man/actor come to be so educated about noble court life and all that went with it?
There were many other points about Bacon, Marlowe, De Vere ,etc but I'm sure those have been covered in this thread and others here over the years.
Tied into the first point above where are all the original manuscripts he did of his plays before he presented them to the theater that the actors must have used and that he used as templates for his tales?
Perhaps one or two of the Shakespeare 'experts' here can enlighten me on their merit or lack of.
