This article presents information on litterateur Sir Edward Dyer who wrote great poetry and drama but always produced it under Shakespeare's name. According to author Alden Brooks, Shakespeare was merely the Dyer's hand, the sottish and disreputable agent who took credit for the genius of somebody else. On the surface Brooks seems to be the usual kind of crank whom students of Shakespeare have for many years exasperatedly done their best to ignore.
