Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Shakespeare, Not Bacon: A Reply to Sir Edwin Durning-Lawrence's Myth
Both hypotheses are absurd. Only one scholar, the late Churton Collins, so far as we are aware, ever held that the plays bore marks of high scholarship, and he had what amounted to monomania on the subject of literary thefts. But the persons who are most impressed by the scholarship of the plays are those who, like Shakespeare himself, have little Latin and less Greek.
