The Shakespearean Authorship Trust

Who really wrote Shakespeare’s plays?

For four hundred years, doubts have been recorded about whether the man named William Shakspere from Stratford-upon-Avon actually wrote the works attributed to him William Shakespeare. This website offers the chance to explore different arguments for the most prominent authorship candidates.

We hope this web site and our WhoWroteShakespeare.substack.com site serves as a crossroads and meeting place. If you don’t know what the fuss is about, go to “About the Question” and read the Declaration of Reasonable Doubt. Under the “About the SAT” menu, check out “Our History & Mission”; the page on “What we do” will tell you of our past activities and future plans. If you are interested in finding out more, upcoming lectures and related events can be found under “News.” If you want to get information on the various candidates, go to the Candidates page. If you cannot find your candidate on this site and know of a website we could link to here at the crossroads, contact us. You can also view our YouTube channel and follow us on Twitter @ShakeAuthTrust.

Yours in doubt,
Trustees of the Shakespearean Authorship Trust
