It was a truly good book on the deception of Shakespeare's identity. I wish I had had access to it while we were being taught the lies in high school that this book disproves. Came to read it because it is one of my course materials and while I really enjoyed the debunking of innumerable "facts", it got a little tedious at some points since there is S O much to disprove. Would recommend anyway. A work very well done.
I do have to admit I mostly skipped the last few pages with the appendixes.
In addition, I wish I had the sass in me to send it to my teacher who taught me the lies that this book debunks ....

This book delves into why the man from Stratford could not possibly have been the writer Shakespeare. I was already an Oxfordian, and this material confirms that belief. It did, however, give me more insight into William Shakspere of Stratford. He was quite the successful businessman, but there is NO evidence he could read or write. That would make writing the plays and poems a bit difficult. And I was pleased to see that the author included Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford among the three most likely candidates for Shakespeare, along with Francis Bacon and Mary Sidney. Of course, it was Oxford.
