"We review and bring up to date Sigmund Freud's neglected conclusions about the authorship of the works of William Shakespeare. Freud was “nearly convinced” by his two readings of the 1920 book by Thomas Looney that first proposed that Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford (1550–1604) used the pseudonym and front man from Stratford. But none of Freud's followers took up his challenge to investigate the implications of de Veres authorship for the psychoanalytic interpretation of the literary works. Freud had no way of knowing about the “smoking gun” that recently has all but vindicated his opinion: the close connections between the annotations de Vere made in his Bible and biblical allusions in the works of Shakespeare. New discoveries in de Veres copy of the Psalms have yielded dozens of important new sources for Shakespeare's works

"The memorial bust of Shakespeare at Holy Trinity Church in Stratford is considered one of two authentic likenesses, because it was approved by people who knew him. (The bust in the Folger's Paster Reading Room, shown at left, is a copy of this statue.) The other such likeness is the engraving by Martin Droeshout in the 1623 First Folio edition of Shakespeare's plays, produced seven years after his death by his friends and colleagues from the King's Men."

"The years in which Shakespeare wrote were among the most exciting in English history. Intellectually, the discovery, translation, and printing of Greek and Roman classics were making available a set of works and worldviews that interacted complexly with Christian texts and beliefs. The result was a questioning, a vital intellectual ferment, that provided energy for the period's amazing dramatic and literary output and that fed directly into Shakespeare's plays. The Ghost in  for example, is wonderfully complicated in part because he is a figure from Roman tragedy—the spirit of the dead returning to seek revenge—who at the same time inhabits a Christian hell (or purgatory). Hamlet's description of humankind reflects at one moment the Neoplatonic wonderment at mankind ("What a piece of work is a man!") and, at the next, the Christian disparagement of human sinners ("And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?").
