Description
xTHE FUGITIVE SHAKESPEARE
AND
SONNET 144
The discovery of a 16th century manuscript version of Shakespeare's Sonnet 144 is the most important historical and literary find ever made relating to Shakespearean studies. The date of composition of this manuscript indicates ca.1577-78 when William Shakspere (the original spelling of his family name) was aged between 13-14 which would suggest that he couldn't have written this Sonnet because he was too young. The story behind this discovery and how the document was found is as astonishing as how the document has managed to survive for over 400 years. The connection in this story between Shakespeare and the famous playwright Ben Jonson is also explored as it was Jonson who provided the most important evidence that Shakespeare was the author of the First Folio which was published in 1623.
"At last, after more than four hundred years there is a glimmer of light at the end of the
tunnel, a significant Shakespearean clue has been discovered which may help to solve the Shakespeare authorship question."
- Sir Derek Jacobi, award-winning Shakespearean actor.
