Book Overview

by Mark Twain (Author)

"From away back toward the very beginning of the Shakespeare-Bacon controversy I have been on the Bacon side, and have wanted to see our majestic Shakespeare unhorsed. My reasons for this attitude may have been good, they may have been bad, but such as they were, they strongly influenced me."

-Mark Twain (1909)

Is Shakespeare Dead?-From My Autobiography (1909), by Mark Twain, is about the age-old debate whether Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare. Twain supports the Baconian theory, which holds that Sir Francis Bacon, philosopher, scientist, and statesman, wrote the plays which were attributed to William Shakespeare.


This jacketed hardcover replica of the original illustrated edition of Is Shakespeare Dead?, offers both an intriguing and entertaining read.
