TED-ED: Did Shakespeare write his plays? - Natalya St. Clair and Aaron Williams

The video explores the debate over Shakespeare's authorship, questioning if he truly wrote the works attributed to him. It introduces stylometry, a method to analyze writing styles, and explains how it can determine authorship by examining linguistic features.
