"Shakespeare" by another name

More about the book

The debate over the true authorship of Shakespeare's body of work began not long after the death of William Shakespeare, the obscure actor and entrepreneur from Stratford-Upon-Avon who was assumed to be the author. Being an uneducated son of a glover who had never left England, the chances that William Shakespeare produced infamous works like Hamlet are slim. This is the first complete literary biography of Edward de Vere, and finds in his history all the background material found in Shakespeare's plays. A truly fascinating study.
