Book Description
Non-fiction research book about Shakespeare, the man and his works, based on contemporary evidence. This evidence conflicts with the orthodox view; for example, contemporary evidence shows that ?William Shakespeare? was a pen name, and that his plays were written far earlier than believed. The book also deconstructs the case of the Stratford Man as Shakespeare, and presents a theory how and why the two different identities were later confused. 2nd edition, 448 pages, footnotes, plates.

Shakespeare Suppressed
Author: Katherine V. Chiljan

ISBN: 9780982940549

Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Academics believe that the great author Shakespeare was the man born in Stratford-upon-Avon, but no fact during his lifetime proves it. Contemporary evidence, however, shows that "William Shakespeare" was an aristocrat's pen name. Freed of the Stratford Man model, problems of play dating, piracy, etc. can begin to get solved. This book of evidence provides a reason why the Stratford Man was falsely credited as Shakespeare; appendix of "too early" allusions destroys orthodox composition dates.

The Shakespeare Authorship Question and Philosophy
Author: Michael Quinn Dudley
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527539369
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 335
Book Description
For nearly 200 years, people have questioned the identity of Shakespeare; however, this debate is often dismissed by most scholars as “just a conspiracy theory,” with the life of the poet-playwright being “beyond doubt.” And yet, the documented facts related to the man from Stratford are meagre—where they exist at all—forcing biographers to rely heavily on their own imaginations. What does it mean to say that the traditional stance on Shakespeare’s authorship is a belief as opposed to a search for knowledge? What are the ethical implications of declaring that some history is “beyond doubt,” and that no debate about it may be permitted? What can theories of knowledge, truth and rhetoric tell us about how knowledge of Shakespeare has been constructed and justified? To the extent that this belief has consequences for society, can it then be said to be an ethical one? Finally, what difference does it actually make—from a pragmatic perspective—who the Author was? Highly original in its scope, The Shakespeare Authorship Question and Philosophy sets out the debate’s many profound philosophical dimensions concerning knowledge, historiography, truth and academic freedom—implications that transcend the debate itself.
