• Resumen

  • In this article the author discusses the many skeptics regarding the authorship of Shakespeare's literary corpus. He argues that for centuries people have doubted Shakespeare’s ability and discusses the April 18, 2009 “Wall Street Journal” story by U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens’ who argues in favor of the skeptics. The author disputes Stevens’ notion of reasonable doubt and discusses the intention of the skeptics whom he feels exist only to sow the seeds of doubt.
