As a youth Edward took the Oxford Higher School Certificate exam
with major subjects English and History (4 papers each) and minors,
Economics, French and Latin (1 paper each). He read voraciously and
this included many of Shakespeare's plays, his sonnets, and his
long narrative poems. The results were gratifying. 4 As in English,
4 As in History, A in Economics. His school Principal told him he
was 6th in England in English. From there he won a scholarship to
Oxford where he took a degree in English (and read more
Shakespeare) He had studied in particular Lear, Othello, Hamlet,
Macbeth and some of the comedies, and read most of the other plays
plus books by critics and scholars. Some writers claimed Francis
Bacon was Shakespeare and others that it was Christopher Marlowe.
He read enough of each to decide in his own mind that their claims
were unfounded. If Shakespeare wasn't Will from Stratford Upon Avon
he certainly wasn't, Edward thought, one of them. But now, back to
the present, and after his fairly extensive reading of
Stratfordians and Oxfordians, and renewing his acquaintance with
the poems and plays, as someone who has spent most of his life
conducting investigations including for the Supreme Court of
Ontario and the Ontario Institute of Chartered Accountants, besides
being a member of research committees or working sub-committees for
the Ontario and Canadian Institutes of CAs..so having spent most of
his life in researching and evaluating evidence while operating an
international tax and auditing practice, he thought it might be
helpful to examine and comment on the Shakespeare identity problem,
as his investigative auditing experience in particular may give a
somewhat different perspective.
