Shakespeare Identified
by J. Thomas Looney
“In my own opinion, after several readings, “Shakespeare” Identified is
destined to occupy, in modern Shakespearean controversy, the place of
Darwin’s great work occupies in evolutionary theory.
It may be
superseded, but all modern discussions of the authorship of the plays
and poems stems from it, and owes the author an inestimable debut.”

A must book for any serious student of Shakespeare.

demonstrates how the profound legal knowledge of Shakespeare manifests
itself in the plays. It artfully
dodges the question of how the man

its other sterling characteristics.
