The work provides exhaustive and irrefutable evidence to support this view.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0A mystery veils the life of William Shakespeare. The completed facts of his life could be written on a small sheet of notepaper, so little is known of him.

There is not a single vestige of his handwriting in connection with literature.
