The Oxfordian theory of Shakespearean authorship holds that Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, wrote the plays conventionally attributed to William Shakespeare. Oxford is presently the most popular of several anti-Stratfordian candidates for the real Shakespeare (see Shakespeare authorship).
Terminology
Adherents to the Oxford theory generally call themselves Oxfordians. They call those who defend the orthodox position Stratfordians.
