About this Article

There’s a persistent belief among some enthusiasts that William Shakespeare didn’t actually write his plays, which were instead the work of one or another university-educated nobleman of the same period. Richard Denton, producer of the documentary series “Shakespeare Uncovered,” airing Fridays, Jan. 25 through Feb. 8, on PBS, takes a dim view of this assertion, especially considering the inherent competitiveness of the Elizabethan Age’s leading dramatists.
