Mr. J. R. Neumiller

His statement of faith in Jesus Christ in his will is incongruous with the spirit of his plays.

As a founder and former teacher and head of Riverside School, Lyndonville, VT, I became interested in the authorship question in the 1980's.

11/07/19
Mr. Michael Alan Newhouse

Never has a man and his work shown such diversity. The answer must lie in some private estate. I say dig the bones that are buried here, release the secret.

Wonderful English writing, but not from Mr. Shakspere's pen!

09/08/12
Mrs. Carolyn C. Nicholson, M.Ed.

I have an Ed.S degree in English. I have taught Shakespeare at the secondary level for years. I am convinced that Edward de Vere is the author.

I cannot accept Mr. Shakspere, the father of illiterate children, as the origin of such worldly writings.

06/03/24
Ms. Kristina Nicoll

I am an actress and I have more than reasonable doubts that the authorship of these plays can be solely attributed to the man from Stratford.

04/28/16
Mr. Dave Nicolson

The joy of a pseudonym...

09/24/10
Mr. Andrew Nielsen

It is highly unlikely that an author of the folio works would not have left other written evidence of his existence.

02/01/21
Miss Nanna Finnerud Nielsen

05/02/11
Mr. Carl G. Niemack, Ph.D.

William Shaksper was uneducated and untraveled. He could not have written the plays.

01/02/08
Mrs. Heather Teresa Nieto

I am a high school English teacher in the United States. I've loved Shakespeare since the moment I read "Romeo and Juliet".

09/09/07

Since I've been introduced to the authorship debate, I have found it truly fascinating. I hope that the truth shall appear one day.

08/01/22
Mr. Jan Erik Nikolaisen

You cannot deny Petter Amundsen's theories.

08/19/13
Mr. David Keith Nikoloff, J.D.

The evidence simply does not exist to show the man from Stratford was a writer, or indeed that he could even spell.

08/09/18
Mr. Erik Schultz Nilsen I

In trust of Petter Amundsen's work with the real authorship of Shakespeare.

08/20/13
Dr. George Howard Nilsen, Ph.D.

09/09/07
Robin Jakobsen Nilsen

I find it incredibly exciting to think that Shakespeare may never have written anything himself, but that it's possibly all a conspiracy.

College/university campuses are no longer citadels of free speech.

02/19/16
Mr. William D. Nobriga, J.D.

The Stratfordians may be right, and the doubters may be wrong. But, we need a dissenting gadfly to move us closer to the truth.
