Shakespeare
"Scholarship implies an attitude toward truth and a method of working toward the establishment of truth-whether of historical events or of the meaning and significance of a literary work or of the nature of the world about us. The scholar has no axes to grind. He is not eager to prove his hypotheses correct, but rather to find out whether they are correct or not. He is ever ready to reevaluate and reinterpret his evidence and to discard one hypothesis in favor of a better. When he uncovers a fact which does not square with his hypothesis he neither shuts his eyes to it nor tries to explain it away nor trims it to fit his own preconceptions, but rather adjusts the hypothesis to fit the facts. The ability to evaluate and reevaluate evidence in any field comes with training and experience in that field."
The people who think that someone other than William Shakespeare wrote his works don't come anywhere close to fulfilling this definition of scholarship. It's kinda depressing.
I'm writing a 8-12 page research paper on Shakespeare, and the Anti-Stratfordians, and Shakespeare's image, and good stuff like that.
