Oxford's vocabulary was similar to Shakespeare's. Like the Bard, he frequently coined words in his correspondence. His uncle, the earl of Surrey, created the Shakespearean sonnet form and English blank verse. Evidence exists that shows his life was marred by illness, infirmary, and infamy, as was the life of the sonnets' author. Oxford's life was intertwined with many of the people with whom Shakespeare consorted, but never with Shakespeare himself.
Every new fact raises more questions.
Oxfordians claim that his connection to the theater would be disgraceful, but his life was already marred by scandals. The only people who would care about his dramatic connections were the nobility, and most Oxfordians agree that his noble friends were in on the conspiracy. My research has been inconclusive. I can't decide which of the two men is responsible for Hamlet and Julius Caesar, and until more information is made available I shall have to remain in a state of Shakespearean agnosticism.
