• Two hundred and thirty years after Shakespeare's death researchers began to express doubts about the authorship of works attributed to him.

• A theory was offered that the pseudonym "Shakespeare" hid the whole group of writers. One proof for his theory is that there is no documents about Shakespeare’s education.

• Since there is not a single manuscript written by Shakespeare, the opponents of the traditional version conclude that his literary career has been falsified.
