Instead, he presents evidence to support the theory that the works were written by a group of writers, including Francis Bacon, Christopher Marlowe, and Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford.Greenwood's argument is based on a close analysis of the language, style, and themes of the plays, as well as historical and biographical evidence.
