Shaksper Not Shakespeare (1900)

By William H. Edwards and William Henry Edwards

Book Overview

Shaksper Not Shakespeare is a book written by William Henry Edwards in 1900. The book explores the theory that William Shakespeare was not the true author of his plays and sonnets, but rather a man named William Shaksper from Stratford-upon-Avon who was used as a front for the real author. Edwards presents evidence and arguments to support this theory, including discrepancies in Shakespeare's education and lack of personal documents, as well as similarities between the works of Shakespeare and other contemporary writers. The book also delves into the history of the Shakespeare authorship controversy and the various theories that have been proposed over the years. Overall, Shaksper Not Shakespeare offers a thought-provoking and controversial perspective on one of the most famous literary figures in history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
