...While Vickers says his research proves the co-authorship of Edward III beyond a doubt, he's yet to convince all of his fellow Shakespeare experts. Says Stanley Wells, chairman of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, the largest Shakespeare preservation group in Britain, "I'm not yet sure we've reached the stage yet that we can be sure of authorship without attacking it from many different angles," such as investigating metrics, classical allusions and signature abbreviations.

Sartre cleverly ties this in with existentialism. The guilt does not belong to the people but they are forced to express...
