	Shakespeare Authorship
		Oxfordians claim that these scholars are blinded to the evidence by a vested self-interest in preserving the authorship of "the Stratford Man," and some more extreme Oxfordians claim that there is an active conspiracy among orthodox scholars to suppress pro-Oxford evidence and keep it from the attention of the general public.
		Oxfordians are not taken seriously by the Shakespeare establishment because (with few exceptions) they do not follow basic standards of scholarship, and the "evidence" they present for their fantastic scenarios is either distorted, taken out of context, or flat-out false.
		Oxfordians try to account for this evidence by claiming that the man from Stratford was actually "William Shaksper" (or "Shakspere"), a man whose name was spelled and pronounced differently from that of the great poet "William Shakespeare," and that nobody at the time would have thought to confuse the two.

		Some of these claims necessarily rely on conspiracy theories to explain the lack of direct historical evidence for them, although their advocates also point to evidentiary gaps in the orthodox history.
		The principal hurdle for the Oxfordian theory is the evidence that many of the Shakespeare plays were written after their candidate's death, but well within the lifespan of William Shakespeare.

		The book which Terry Ross once heralded as "a model for attribution studies" is the subject of a critical new study By Gilles Montsarrat of the University of Burgundy which confirms Richard Kennedy's identification of the author as John Ford, not "William Shakespeare".
		Three new entries to the News section illustrate the growing circles of Oxfordian influence in the wider culture.
		This Oxfordian "mousetrap" in this canonical Shakespeare play amounts to a hidden signature of the real author, Edward de Vere, whose obscure family history is allusively refered to in the passage.
