See, I believe Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare, too. I just don't believe that William Shakesper, the butcher's apprentice from Stratford-on-Avon, wrote the plays written by William Shakespeare, which was the pseudonym of Edward deVere, the 17th Earl of Oxford.
The fact that Samuel Clemons wrote the works of Mark Twain isn't a goofy, tin-foil hat conspiracy theory. Neither is the idea that the name "William Shakespeare" was a pseudonym.
Shakespeare/deVere wrote Hamlet. Twain/Clemons wrote Tom Sawyer. And George Eliot/Mary Ann Evans wrote Silas Marner, yet it still remains a painfully boring book.
