When teaching the English language, there is always a reference to William Shakespeare. His work also encompasses several sections of literature and arts. Born in the 16th century, William was the eldest child of a successful Glover and traditional dignitary. His mother was the daughter of a wealthy farmer. The attendance records of the basic education of William are blank and there is no history of being within the walls of a college or institution. However, early speculations presumed that he attended the prominent Stratford grammar school - the King’s New School, where he might have probably learned different languages such as Latin and Greek. Another assumption in the early life of William is that he grew up in the Catholic way, which helped him learn theology and rhetoric.

Shakespeare is believed to have seen theatrical plays by travelling performers touring Stratford in the 1560s and 1570s. He married at a very young age – he was only 18, to Anne Hathaway. They had three children within a few years, however, one of them – a twin, died of an unknown illness when he was 11.

There are diverse conspiracy theories propagated about William Shakespeare. In the 1800s and 1900s or even earlier, numerous controversies about his work have emerged. Many people do not believe that a boy from a poor background and an illiterate family, who has no educational record, could become an erudite scholar of the English language. Some even claim that there are pieces of evidence indicating that Shakespeare did not write his greatest works alone, he had the collaboration of others. These conspiracy theories believe that William had a group of writers that helped him. Notable members of that group include Bacon and Marlowe. Discover these theories as they are contained on this collection.

Take a look at the sample pages taken from just some of these books in the collection.

All of the book titles that are included in this DVD are listed as follows:

Delia Bacon- a Biographical Sketch by Theodore Bacon
Delia Bacon was best known for her work on Shakespearean authorship.
Bacon intended to prove that the plays attributed to William Shakespeare were written by a coterie of men, including Francis Bacon, Sir Walter Raleigh and Edmund Spenser, for the purpose of inculcating a philosophic system, for which they felt that they themselves could not afford to assume the responsibility. This system she set out to discover beneath the superficial text of the plays.

The Family Shakespeare by Thomas Bowdler 1847
To bowdlerize means to self-righteously remove or modify passages one considers vulgar or objectionable. A medical doctor by the name of Thomas Bowdler, whose birthday was this day in 1754, gave new meaning to expurgation.
Dr. Bowdler gave up his medical practice to practice surgery on the works of William Shakespeare. He removed all those words “...which cannot with propriety be read aloud in a family” or which are “...unfit to be read aloud by a gentleman to a company of ladies.” He removed all the words and expressions which he considered to be indecent or impious from Shakespeare’s writings.
