Actually there is evidence that Shakespeare did write his own plays. Ben Jonson, a contemporary dramatist of Shakespeare's, was a close friend and great admirer of Shakespeare and his work. And wrote about his admiration. So, yes he did write his own plays. The problem with these people is just out and out snobbery. They cannot believe that anyone but the well to do with a university education could be the author of these plays. But this snobbery extended to more modern times. During the 60s one British music teacher said that that John Lennon and Paul McCartney could not have written their songs because their level of education was not high enough and therefore Brian Epstein their manager must have written the music because he went to a public school. This idea collapse in 1967 when Epstein died but Lennon and McCartney still wrote songs.

@Cj wattsup This is true. My partners grandfather had a natural talent for playing music on the piano. He only every had to hear a piece once and was able to play it back perfectly.
