The Mysterious William Shakespeare by Charlton Ogburn
The Myth and the Reality
This book delves into the long-standing debate surrounding the true authorship of the works attributed to William Shakespeare. The author presents a comprehensive examination of the evidence and arguments that question the traditional attribution to the man from Stratford-upon-Avon, suggesting that the true author may have been someone with a more substantial educational background and worldly experience. Through meticulous research and analysis of historical documents, the book challenges readers to reconsider the accepted narrative about the identity of one of the most celebrated writers in the English language, proposing an alternative candidate who might have had the means, motive, and opportunity to produce the canon of plays and sonnets that have captivated audiences for centuries.
