Reads article about the identity of Shakespeare, still doesn't know the identity of Shakespeare.

But seriously, if you need a tl;dr search for "It's at this point," read that paragraph, and note that what she found was that Shakespeare was a real man, not the pen name of someone else.

That's the discovery. Save yourself 20mins of reading a poorly-written article.

[EDIT: spelling.]

There's never been any serious question that Shakespeare was a real person. There's been a long-running and largely silly 'controversy' about the authorship of his works. This discovery just takes away another toehold the 'Shakespeare authorship controversy' people cling to.
