Who Wrote Shakespeare's Works?

An intriguing look at a controversial topic, this program explores the centuries-old Shakespeare Authorship Question with an international panel of scholars from liberal arts, theater, and government. Moderated by William F. Buckley, Jr., the panel features Charles Vere, Earl of Buford, whose ancestor, Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, is considered by many to be the author of the works attributed to William Shakespeare. This is an intriguing way of demanding close attention to Shakespeare's style, vocabulary, characters, settings, knowledge of everything from science to politics—in short, the Shakespearean texts themselves.
