I am not a scholar of that period, so my opinion matters little.
Have you come across this resource yet?

You should find it helpful in your search for facts upon which to base your opinion.
Here is another excellent reference with links to many other scholarly essays and debates about whether Shakespeare wrote them all, or was a nom de plume.

Apparently there are members of the Harvard faculty on both sides of the question.
Another helpful site is shakespeareauthorship

Would it be a good idea to base my essay on the fact that I believe William Shakespeare from Stratford is the real Shakespeare simply because of lack of evidence he isn't Shakespeare? I mean the other candidates don't show evidence to change my opinion after reading all the sites you have given me. Thanks for the help.
If you are not convinced by the evidence of the various theories that someone else wrote the plays, then it would be a good idea to support Shakespeare's authorship and include a rebuttal to the other claims in your essay.
