The Journal of Scientific Exploration (JSE), an open access journal, has published its summer issue, which is specially devoted to what is known as the Shakespeare authorship question (SAQ).
Journal of Scientific Exploration
In the issue, 10 historians and literary scholars present evidence that casts serious doubts about who actually authored the monumental works credited to William Shakespeare. Suggesting that the name is actually a pseudonym for someone else, this position has been endorsed by numerous artists and scholars over the decades ranging from Walt Whitman and Mark Twain to Sigmund Freud, Tyrone Guthrie and Mark Rylance founding Artistic Director of the reconstructed Globe Theater in London.
However, many historians, literary researchers, and theater professionals over the centuries have been enormously skeptical of the attribution. The debate that has ensued―with several hundred books having now been published on the subject―is at the core of the SAQ.
