Shakespeare could not have written his plays, this movie argues, inconclusively.

Anonymous is to Shakespeare as the DaVinci Code is to Jesus. If you enjoy meta-historical fantasies, it's quite a ride. Demanding it be history, too, is a waste of time -- it's a movie!

Apparently, Covert does not understand the concept of fiction.

As far as the banal comment about Lincoln goes, read the following: "Having received almost no formal education, Lincoln embarked on a quest for learning and self-improvement. He read incessantly, beginning as a youth with the Bible and Shakespeare. During his single term in the House of Representatives, his colleagues considered it humorous that Lincoln spent his spare time poring over books in the Library of Congress. The result of this ''stunning work of self-education'' was the ''intellectual power'' revealed in Lincoln's writings and speeches."
