In spite of the Stratfordian dogmatarians, the Shakespeare Authorship Question is a compelling literary mystery in which there are many unanswered questions.

It is not known if Oxford and Shaksper knew each other. Oxford could have used the pen name without Shaksper being a front or even being involved. We just don’t know. What I do know is that the case for Oxford being the true author is very strong.

Anyone who can read Charlton Ogburn’s “The Mysterious William Shakespeare” and come away with a different conclusion, in my view, simply needs to take the blinders off.
