Goddess of Atvatabar-William Richard Bradshaw

from Shakespeare Identified · host J. Thomas Looney

For an individual lacking formal credentials in literature to tackle a puzzle that has confounded experts for ages may seem like an audacious leap. Yet, what I present is not a mere fluke but the outcome of a dedicated and systematic investigation. My findings suggest that the conventional belief in William Shakspere as the true author of the celebrated works is not just unfounded, but there exists a compelling prima facie case against it. It appears that he may have been merely a façade, behind which an extraordinary intellect chose to navigate their own fate for reasons yet unknown. (Summary by ToddHW, from Introduction)
