	Edmondson, Shakespeare beyond Doubt: Evidence, Argument, Controversy
Annotation:
	Analyzes the methodology of several anti-Stratfordians promoting lesser-known identities for Shakespeare, focusing on the tendency of these scholars to approach the authorship question under the assumption that Shakespeare is a pseudonym "without ensuring that the premise is corroborated by data." States that "the goal of [the] chapter [is] to exploit methodology and use it as a way in--a means to synthesize the myriad of other, lesser candidates of the authorship discussion," analyzing obscure arguments concerning the identity of Shakespeare and "mak[ing] clear just how each argument does not stand up to historical fact and/or rationality."
