Now What?
The authorship of two great literary works seems constantly to be under fire. The Bible and Shakesphere. In the latest salvo, it seems the Bard was just a front man.
An Elizabethan diplomat named Sir Henry Neville was the real author of William Shakespeare's plays, a new book claims.Claims of someone else writing Shakesphere have been around for centuries, so I decided to check the veractiy of these claims with noted Shakesphere expert and friend David Allen White. David, by the way, blogs on matters spiritual at OneTrueGodBlog. David's comment was absolutely priceless
The Truth Will Out: Unmasking the Real Shakespeare says the courtier, nicknamed "Falstaff" by close friends, used Shakespeare as a "front man".
The book by Brenda James and Professor William Rubinstein contains a foreword by Mark Rylance, artistic director of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London.
"Now the truth can be told. I wrote Shakespeare's plays." -- David Allen WhiteI immediately placed my pre-order on Amazon. Thank you David! -- I knew you were a good writer, but I had no idea! And to think how much time you spent writing that other book about him.
Full expose forthcoming in the book THE BARD'S A FRAUD, published by the University of Blahblah Press.
