Description

For over 150 years, scholars have debated the true identity of the author behind the world's most famous plays. This book examines the long-standing mystery surrounding the authorship of William Shakespeare's works. Many researchers find it difficult to reconcile the known facts of Shakespeare's life with the massive genius found in his writing. How could a man who left school at age 13 and never traveled abroad produce the incomparable Sonnets or provide such detailed descriptions of Renaissance Venice? While various candidates like Sir Francis Bacon, the Earl of Oxford, and even Queen Elizabeth I have been suggested, none have passed serious scrutiny until now. This work investigates these historical contradictions and looks at the evidence that has fueled this debate for generations. Perfect for readers interested in British social history and historical biographies, this book offers a deep look into one of literature's greatest unsolved questions.
