Teaser -- Myth of the Month 10: The Shakespeare Authorship Controversy
from Historiansplaining: A historian tells you why everything you know is wrong · host Samuel Biagetti, PhD

Am I a crackpot for even entertaining such a ridiculous idea? We consider the evidence. This is the last installment in my series about William Shakespeare.
