We’ve all been associated with Shakespeare, whether we’ve read one of his pays for a school assignment or watched one of his plays. One way or another we know who William Shakespeare is. For years there have been people saying that William Shakespeare, from Stratford- upon- Avon, is not the one who wrote all those plays and poems.

After learning about the law and gaining enough information to be able to write about it, Edward de Vere worked in the court where he was given the nickname Spear-shaker “also points to the earl's nickname at court, 'Spear-shaker” (Hall).
