`A major contribution to the greatest literary puzzle of all. This is a revealing, scrupulous, carefully documented historical work. It devastates the crumbling claims for the man of Stratford, and offers a realistic and persuasive case for a credible candidate.' * Dr John Spiers, Senior Research Fellow, Institute of English Studies, University of London * `Casson and Rubinstein reveal remarkable discoveries in the margins of Henry Neville's books, in his letters and handwriting, linking him to the works of Shakespeare. This documentary evidence shifts the ground: in our search for Shakespeare we should look to Neville.' * Greg Thompson, award-winning theatre director and Entrepreneur in Residence, University College, London * `With meticulous and jaw-dropping discoveries, all the pieces of the authorship puzzle have been slotted into place - and the fit is impeccable.' * John O'Donnell, Monash University, Melbourne *
Who wrote the works of Shakespeare? Revealing newly discovered evidence, John Casson and William D. Rubinstein definitively answer this question, presenting the case that the man from Stratford simply did not have the education, cultural background and breadth of life experience necessary for him to write the plays traditionally attributed to him. Instead, the most credible candidate is Sir Henry Neville, who certainly did have all the necessary qualifications. A colourful Renaissance man educated at Merton College, Oxford, Neville's life experience precisely matches that revealed in the plays. Casson and Rubinstein take us on a breath-taking journey of discovery through the development of Shakespeare's plays and poetry, compellingly drawing close parallels between the works and events in Neville's life. They reveal how Neville's annotated library books, manuscripts, notebooks and letters show he was the hidden author, who survived dangerous political times by keeping his authorship secret. The book contains a great deal of remarkable new evidence, expertly presented, that will challenge anyone's ideas about who really wrote the Shakespeare plays.
