William Shakespeare wrote the sonnet sequence known as Shakespeare's sonnets. The idea that someone else wrote these poems or coauthored these works is wild speculation and has no historical evidence to support it.

Some critics have speculated that sonnets 153-154 were written by an editor to finish off the sonnets but again there is no historical evidence to suggest this.
