Who Really Wrote Shakespeare? D Lawrence-Young

"William Shakespeare was a con man! A faker and a forger!" With these words ringing in his ears, university lecturer, Daniel Ryhope, sets off to find out whether Shakespeare really wrote Shakespeare. Joined by his wife and two friends, Daniel searches, analyzes and sifts through all the available information on other possible Elizabethan and Jacobean writers and dramatists. Did Shakespeare live in Stratford-upon-Avon? Was he well-educated? Was Shakespeare a cover-name for a secret aristocratic writer? Did the Bard have connections at court? Were the plays written by a woman or even by a team?In true detective fashion, Daniel and his friends investigate all the possible theories and eventually announce their conclusion, appropriately enough, in Stratford-upon-Avon. Using sources from far and wide, D. Lawrence-Young has written a fascinating novel which throws much light on the perennial question: Who REALLY Wrote Shakespeare?
