The authorship of the plays attributed to William Shakespeare is a long-standing debate. The case against Shakespeare is made by anti-Stratfordians, who hold that he did not acquire an education or experience worthy of a body of work of such dept and diversity. They argue that Shakespeare was a front man for another author or group of authors. However, mainstream scholarship largely rejects speculation about the identity of the playwright, contending that Shakespeare did write the plays.
