And with it his purpose in writing plays for the public stage, and the publishing of his poetry?
Oxfordians have now fleshed out the story of Edward de Vere, a flawed and even tortured genius (as many are), his life and the people and experiences he drew on to create his vivid stories and characters, to such an extent that almost nothing remains unexplainable about the otherwise inexplicable origin of the genius who practically re-invented English
It actually amounts to nothing less than a re-writing of the history of the Elizabethan period, which was arguably a turning point, one of the most important few decades in English history and a consequence of the later English-speaking world (the 'anglosphere'), as the Feudal order that had lasted for six hundred years, of power held by the land owners comprising the "wolfish Earls" (one of whom was "Shake-speare" himself) finally passed.
The inertia of dogma and conflicts of interest (or simply vested interests) are ensuring strident, vociferous resistance by defenders of what can now seen as an absurd fairy tale - that of the "the Divine William", the "Stratford man" supposedly possessed of such utterly unique genius that he didn't even need an education or access to books in order create literary masterpieces which he conjured fully-formed as if out of the ether. Essentially a partly unintentional revival of the contemporary, politically-expedient cover-up/hoax of the late Elizabethan and early Jacobean periods, when the plays themselves were being rediscovered in the late 18th and 19th centuries after a long hiatus in relative obscurity.
Many, many notably savvy and intellectual people voiced their scepticism of the fairy tale long before de Vere as the real writer was even suggested, beginning almost as soon as the plays regained their fame in the 19th C., but that doesn't stop 'Stratfordians' calling 'Oxfordians' "conspiracy theorists" (among many other things). Not that there wasn't an actual conspiracy, orchestrated largely by the Cecils, to bury the name of de Vere and any connection of the plays and poetry to the court and Elizabeth herself.
