The Shakespeare authorship question


    The Shakespeare authorship question is a theory (which was first proposed during the Victorian Era) that William Shakespeare did not write the plays and poems which were accredited to him. [...]
    Believers of the alternative authorship theory often argue that William Shakespeare lacked the education, aristocratic sensibility and familiarity with the royal courts which is clearly evident in his works. Personally, I would say that as a dedicated reader of Shakespeare’s works, many of these claims do not seem to be supported by any reasonable evidence.
    I would suggest that this theory derives from a deeply embedded prejudice rooted in the English class system (most marked during the Victorian Era, when the authorship question first gained widespread credence). Certainly, Shakespeare came from relatively humble beginnings, and was not a member of royalty or part of the nobility – but, I argue, that is no reason to suppose that someone from his background could not write as well as he did, or accrue the wealth, position and influence in London theatrical society that he did. […]
    This is where the implications for people reading Shakespeare today 400 years on are most important. How can we read (and be taught) Shakespeare’s plays, if we can never really understand the complete context of their composition, the time in which they were written and, yes, the prejudice and controversy that still engulfs them.

Text 10A1-II


Beverly Hannett-Price‟s 67 years teaching at Detroit Country Day School has earned acclaim and notice in the Guinness Book of World Records. An assembly Monday crowded with students and staff toasted the 90-year-old‟s decades of uninterrupted classroom instruction marking her the longestserving female teacher of English as a foreign language.

“This historic recognition honors not only the length of Mrs. Hannett-Price‟s career, but the depth of her influence on students whose achievements span the worlds of entertainment, business, and the arts,” school officials said in a statement.

“She‟s had a lot of students and she kept in touch with me. She knew I needed more attention ... she befriended me. This is more than just a student-teacher relationship,” Courtney B. Vance, one of her former students, said Monday.

Guinness confirms Hannett-Price is the world‟s longestserving female language teacher, based on verified, uninterrupted years of classroom instruction documented across multiple institutions. In a statement on their website, Guinness said that “This record honors her lifelong commitment to her students, her school communities, and the teaching profession as a whole.”

Hannett-Price is known for her innovative and engaging teaching methods and creative assignments. “Even after more than 67 years in the classroom, she continues to educate with the same enthusiasm and energy that defined the start of her career,”Detroit Country Day officials said.
