Let’s Debunk the Theory!
Who is Edward de Vere? Edward de Vere was the 17th Earl of Oxford. He enjoyed to write poetry and was one of the first to compose at the Elizabeth court. Who is William Cecil? William Cecil was Queen Elizabeth’s right hand for most of her reign. She would do whatever he said. He is also known as the Lord High Treasurer from 1572.
Who is Robert Cecil? Robert Cecil was the 1st Earl of Salisbury. He was an English Administrator and politician.
What is the Oxfordian Theory? The Oxfordian Theory is that William Shakespeare never wrote any of his so called plays and poetry, but instead it was Edward de Vere. Edward de Vere had Shakespeare take credit for the plays since Edward was an Earl; it was considered a sin …show more content…
The reasons used to defend this theory are that us in the modern world did not exist in that time period. It was well known for poets to inquire other civilians to take credit for their poetry since it was considered a sin.
Did Queen Elizabeth have any children (legal or illegitimate?) There is no record of Queen Elizabeth the I to have had any children during her reign. Although I do have my suspicions as to the queen having children that were not said on record.
Who is James I of England? What are some things he is known for? (List 3) James I of England reign was significant because it was the first time England and Scotland had the same monarchy. He was also known as the king of Scotland. He ruled right after Queen Elizabeth passed away. She did not have any heirs to take over her throne.
What can you tell me about William Shakespeare? (Important facts @ least 5)

Although we know this is just a theory how can we all be so sure that William Shakespeare was the man and not Edward de Vere. Edward de Vere did write poetry, and maybe just maybe Shakespeare took the copyrights for all his plays. We can not really say if this is true or untrue. We were not there in that time period. Not only is there theory on the copyrights but also on the queen. Many think she was a man and it is a story told that is over years old. She was known as the virgin queen because she did not marry. Was it because she did not want to? Or simply because she could not? This raises many eyebrows still. This just shows that the theory could possibly be true. After learning about this theory I myself do no believe that William Shakespeare wrote all of his poetry and plays, not only because of the theory, but simply because there is no answer. Us in the modern day could not possibly know if it is true or not just as stated before. So from now on I will think of William Shakespeare’s work as
