While visiting an English relative, Adam Branch fi nds an Elizabethan manuscript that could be in William Shakespeare's own hand. In his effort to have the document authenticated, Branch becomes enmeshed in a deadly game of cat and mouse with someone supporting another candidate as author of the immortal plays. Carefully researched, Shakespeare's Kinsmen brings to life the 16th and 17th century world of Shakespeare and his potential rivals for authorship: Edward de Vere, Christopher Marlowe, and Francis Bacon, as well as the contemporaneous Shakespeare Authorship Question waged by their advocates.
