As the worlds greatest author, Shakespeare has attracted attention from scholars and laypersons alike. But more and more people have questioned whether the historical Shakespeare wrote the plays popularly attributed to him. While other books on the subject have argued that some other particular person, such as the Earl of Oxford, wrote the plays, this is the first book in over 80 years to comprehensively revisit the authorship question without an ideological bias, the first to introduce new evidence, and the first to undertake a systematic comparative analysis with other literary biographies. It successfully argues that William Shakespeare was the pen name of an aristocrat, and that William Shakespeare of Stratford was a shrewd entrepreneur, not a dramatist.Price exposes numerous logical fallacies, contradictions, and sins of omission in the traditional accounts of Shakespeares whereabouts; his professional activities; his personality profile; the play chronology; autobiographical echoes in the plays; the dramatists education and cultural sophistication; circumstances of publication of the plays and poetry; and the testimony of his supposed literary colleagues, such as Ben Jonson. New or previously ignored documentation is used to reconstruct Shakespeares career as a businessman, investor, theater shareholder, real estate tycoon, commodity trader, moneylender, and actor, but not a writer. In fact, Shakespeare is the only alleged writer from his time for whom no contemporaneous literary paper trail survives.

I was excited to dive into this book, but I found the arguments for the authorship problem unconvincing. Some facts seemed stretched, and the writing wasn’t as engaging as I hoped. Just not for me, unfortunately.

Great Read but a Bit Dense
The book has some fantastic theories and evidence about Shakespeare, but I found some sections a little hard to get through. Still, it’s worth it if you’re serious about understanding the authorship problem. Just be prepared for a challenge!
