		Oxford is claimed to have mastered the majority of the accomplishments in knowledge and understanding, innate and gained from experience, that Shakespeare’s Works display.
		Though de Vere possessed infelicitous characteristics (even Shakspere/ Shakespeare has been evidenced negatively from few ‘facts’ as being “snobbish, penny-pinching, neglectful of family, rude and unpopular”), there is no reason why inherent genius prevented the Earl of Oxford from “the writing of immortal dramas”.
		Oxford, in the earlier decades, was patron to not one but possibly two troupes of players, and he held the lease of the Blackfriars Theatre, London, for a while from 1584.

		At the age of twenty-one (1571) Oxford married Anne Cecil, Sir William's fifteen-year-old daughter but was soon following in his father's marital footsteps, being frequently unfaithful to her despite the fact that she became pregnant in 1574.

	De Vere is Shakespeare (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		A critical difficulty with the Oxford attribution, as with any of the Shakespeare claimants, is just why the secret should have been preserved inviolate into Jacobean and Stuart times, decades after the only people with any conceivable reason to keep it were in their graves.
		He argues that Oxford, forbidden by the Elizabethan Establishment from putting his name to the plays, built into the texts puns on the components of his name - chiefly the 'de Vere' part, but also his family motto "Vero Nihil Verius" - in order to assert his authorship to his own and future generations.
		Oxford's procedure was, we are told, was to take "foreign words that were puns on his name and, after translating them into English, [to use] them throughout the plays".

		De Vere came into his earldom early, after his father's unexpected death, and spent his childhood as a ward of Queen Elizabeth's chief minister, William Cecil, whom Anderson casts as Polonius to de Vere's Hamlet.
		Cecil provided de Vere with a first-rate education that prepared him for his travels in Italy and his short-lived success in Elizabeth's court, which the earl undermined by fighting with fellow courtier Philip Sidney, impregnating one of Elizabeth's maids-of-honor and general profligacy.
		The earl's inconvenient death in 1604, however, requires Anderson to explain away all contemporary references in the last phase of Shakespeare's output with the same vehemence with which he found earlier coded identifications.
