Sir Henry Neville was Shakespeare : the evidence
Rubinstein, W. D.2016
Book
Dr John Casson and Professor William D. Rubinstein present the evidence for establishing that William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon did not have the education, cultural background, and breadth of life experience compatible with the high literary achievements of the plays traditionally attributed to him. There is no evidence that he had any education at all. At best he left grammar school in Stratford at about age 13, and so he was not well educated to have acquired the erudition to be found in hundreds of references from classical and more modern authors, some of which had not yet been translated into English. However, another author did have all those distinctive qualities: the colourful Renaissance man, Sir Henry Neville, educated at Merton College, Oxford, whose life span (1562-1615) coincided almost identically with that of William Shakespeare (1564-1616).
