Download or read book Is Shakespeare Dead? written by Mark Twain and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 1919 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Is Shakespeare Dead?” is a scholarly work of profound erudition, and has been accepted by critics as the final word on the Baconian controversy. No Shakespearite after reading it can longer cling to the Stratford fallacy. The author reasons logically that the writer of the plays could not have been Shakespeare, because they exhibit an intimate knowledge of the technicalities of the law, and there is no evidence that Shakespeare, the actor, had at any time the leisure to acquire legal lore.
