(445) No "Shakspeare" Academics but a quarter of educated People think William Shakespeare didn't write all the plays that bear his name

Online Poll

Dr.Stephen Purcell
Publishers Wordsworth Editions did an online survey of more than 1,000 people ( Coventry Telegraph) and found:

 26 per cent think Shakespeare didn’t write all the plays attributed to him.

This is in strange contrast to the statement of University of Warwick Shakespeare expert 
<-----    Dr Stephen Purcell 

that “nearly all professional Shakespearean scholars agree that William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon was the author of the works attributed to him.
         Stephen Purcell

  How to explain this discrepancy?

  There is no escape: you need to make your own opinion!
You have an advantage over Stephen Purcell. -You are not depending on your employer.-
