From the Pelican edition of King Lear:
"As it happens, lucky male children of the middle class had access to better education than most aristocrats in Elizabethan England - and [Edward de Vere] was not particularly well educated . . . popular rival playwrights such as the very learned Ben Jonson and George Chapman, both of whom also lacked university training, achieved great artistic success, without being taken as Bacon or Oxford."
