INTRODUCTION
 
 
 
 
 

What do we really know about William Shakspere? Where did he learn the French,
Italian, Latin and Greek that provided the material for the plays?  If he had attended
the village school (and there is no record of his having done so), he would have
learned only small Latin and possibly Greek.  Never having attended  university; how
did the man from Stratford gain the knowledge the plays reveal of the law and
medicine?  Never having been at sea, how did he gain the knowledge the plays
reveal of navigation?

There is very little evidence in order to Shakspere to keep the authorship. The
information we have makes us doubt even more: his character, his background, his
education, his family, his friends, his behaviour towards his debtors and his neighbors,
as well as his attitude to money and property.

However, it is not those things that make us doubt, but the absence of all the
documentary about the life of the world's greatest writer. There is no document
showing that the man from Stratford did write these works. There should be a
record: his manuscripts, his letters, the letters sent to him, the letters about him
between others, and printed stories and pamhplets about him. But there is nothing
at all. There are reviews and comments on the plays and poems, yet nothing on their author.

There is however documentation on a man who lived in the village of
Stratford-upon-Avon, who commonly went under Shaksper. He got involved in
several minor court cases and he was sought for non-payment of taxes. But there
are no documents which show that he had any connection with the plays or poems.
