About This Item
Professor Shapiro turns his attention to the authorship of Shakespeare. For 200 years after the Bard's death, no one had questioned whether someone else had in fact written the famous plays. Since then dozens of rivals have been posited as potential candidates. Shapiro retraces the source of the controversy and weaves his way through a fascinating path of false claimants, deception, and fabricated documents. He arrives at a key question: are the works autobiographical, and if so, do they hold the key to who actually wrote them?
Book is in excellent condition. Pages are intact, clean, unmarked and uncreased. Cloth covers are clean and tight. The dust jacket is unclipped, complete, and in very good condition with just expected signs of rubbing and minor shelf wear but no tears. Book is now covered in professional removable clear wrapper. 367 pp with index and illustrations
