520 _aFor more than two hundred years, a growing number of researchers have questioned whether the man named William Shakespeare actually wrote the works attributed to him. There is no paper trail for William Shakespeare - no record that he was every paid for writing, nothing in his handwriting but a few signatures on legal documents, no evidence of his presence in the royal court except as an actor in his later years, no confirmation of his involvement in the literary circles of the time. With so little information about his man - and even less evidence connecting him to the plays and sonnets - what can and what can't we assume about the author of the greatest works in the English language?
