Subject: RE: BS: Shakespeare: Henry Neville?
"... what is the basis of your belief?" Because they were attributed to him when they were published only a few years after his death, and there are no indications that anybody at the time, or for cednturies afterwards ever disputed his authorship.

Perfectly adequate grounds for accepting that he wrote the works in question, it seems to me, in the absence of pretty solid reasons for doubting it.
