Summary

Ever wonder why people doubt that William Shakespeare was the "true" author of the poems, plays and sonnets? Discover three reasons to doubt, and learn why William Shakespeare, a young man from the provinces, a man without wealth, connections or a university education should be hung!

His close friend and rival Ben Jonson wrote the words "hang Shakespeare" in 1623. But why? This man knew the “real” author much better than modern scholars like Stephan Greenblatt or James Shapiro, wouldn't you agree?

Many books questioning Shakespeare's authorship will claim he could not have written the works because of his lack of education or upbringing but this book does not. Author Robert Boog claims to have solved this 400+ year-old, true story mystery and the clues he finds may strike a note with teachers and young people today.

Bringing together little-known historical facts as well as the scant, but incontrovertible things written about the “real” author, Mr. Boog explains things in a comfortable yet convincing fashion.

Shakespeare’s motive to steal: It wasn’t the money or the fame. It was something else that makes perfect sense.

Causation: Who created the First Folio proves Shakespeare could not have written the plays.

Common sense: Why this nobleman needed a pseudonym.

Stylometry: Macbeth, The Tempest, and Pericles could all have been written much earlier.

Occam’s Razor: The bipolar mental health issues of this gentleman matches the “real” author of the Sonnets.
