	Edmondson, Shakespeare beyond Doubt: Evidence, Argument, Controversy
Annotation:
	Discusses how incomplete knowledge of early modern authors' lives, though not unusual, can lead to skepticism about authorship, and how knowledge about early modern writing practices can dispel misinformed views of authorship. Concludes that despite the lack of detailed knowledge about Shakespeare and his contemporaries, "we can be certain, beyond any reasonable doubt, that early modern authors did not ever pretend to be other people."
