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. The poems were probably written by Shakespeare in the late 1590s in a period when London theaters were closed to prevent the spread of plague and Shakespeare could devote himself to poetry instead of drama.
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.
