Amelia Bassano was an unacredited, poetist, playwriter and literary genius. She was a black woman whom has been proven to be the true writer of all of William Shakespeare plays. Shakespeare's Dark Lady by John Hudson states Bassano wrote the sonnets about herself; as with the plays Shakespeare was simply a front used to hide her identity. Bassano was born in 1569 She could not publish her work because she was black and a slave. She died in poverty because she never received a dime for her work Shakespeare was illiterate and could barely write his own name. I found it worth it to look into Shakespeare's Dark Lady...an amazing character well worth the study....Mark Rylance. The book is a controversial and provocative well researched book....says Dr. Catherine Alexander, editor of the Cambridge Shakespeare Library. I'm sorry it is to late to accredit and salute Amelia for her amazing work. If the truth was always only told....Shalom.
