Did Shakespeare write Shakespeare? The authorship question has been
much treated in works of fiction, film and television, provoking
interest all over the world. Sceptics have proposed many candidates
as the author of Shakespeare's works, including Francis Bacon,
Christopher Marlowe and Edward De Vere, the seventeenth Earl of
Oxford. But why and how did the authorship question arise and what
does surviving evidence offer in answer to it? This authoritative,
accessible and frequently entertaining book sets the debate in its
historical context and provides an account of its main protagonists
and their theories. Presenting the authorship of Shakespeare's
works in relation to historiography, psychology and literary
theory, twenty-three distinguished scholars reposition and develop
the discussion. The book explores the issues in the light of
biographical, textual and bibliographical evidence to bring fresh
perspectives to an intriguing cultural phenomenon.
