[PW] ? Quote About Shakespeare (Quotation Query #644)

[Fred Shapiro]

I am trying to find out about the origins of a quotation something like 
"Shakespeare's plays were really written by someone else with the same 
name."  Can anyone supply any information pointing to early appearances of 
this quotation?
