The Shakespeare Problem Restated (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258954765)

The Shakespeare Problem Restated is a book written by George Greenwood that explores the mystery surrounding the true identity of William Shakespeare. For centuries, scholars and enthusiasts have debated whether the works attributed to Shakespeare were actually written by him or if they were the work of someone else entirely. Greenwood argues that Shakespeare's authorship is not a settled matter and offers evidence to support his theory that the true author was someone else entirely.The book begins by examining the historical context in which Shakespeare lived and worked. Greenwood notes that there is little concrete evidence to suggest that Shakespeare was a writer, and that many of the documents that do exist are open to interpretation. He then goes on to explore the various theories that have been put forward over the years regarding Shakespeare's authorship, including the idea that he was a front for someone else or that he was a pseudonym for a group of writers.Greenwood also delves into the literary style and themes of Shakespeare's works, arguing that they are not consistent with what we know about Shakespeare's life and experiences. He suggests that the true author was someone with a different background and perspective than Shakespeare, and that this person may have been a member of the aristocracy or a courtier.Overall, The Shakespeare Problem Restated is a thought-provoking exploration of one of the greatest mysteries in literary history. Greenwood presents a compelling case for re-examining the evidence and questioning the assumptions that have been made about Shakespeare's authorship. Whether or not readers agree with his conclusions, this book is sure to spark lively debate and discussion.This is a new release of the original 1937 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
