Publisher's Synopsis
""Was Shakespeare Shapleigh? A Correspondence In Two Entanglements (1887)"" is a book written by Justin Winsor that explores the theory that William Shakespeare was actually a man named William Shapleigh. The book is presented in the form of a correspondence between two fictional characters, one of whom is a Shakespearean scholar and the other a descendant of the Shapleigh family. Through their letters, the two characters discuss the evidence for and against the theory, including historical records and literary analysis. The book delves into the social and political context of Shakespeare's time and explores the possibility that the playwright may have been using a pseudonym to protect himself from persecution.
