The Truth Will Out

The question of who wrote Shakespeares plays has been the subject of furious debate among scholars for over 150 years. Everything known about the facts of William Shakespeares life seems incompatible with the extraordinary genius of his writing. How could a man who left school at the age of 13, and apparently never travelled abroad have authored the incomparable Sonnets or so intricately described Renaissance Venice? Shakespeare candidates abound, among them Sir Francis Bacon, The Earl of Oxford, even Queen Elizabeth I herself, but none have stood up to serious scrutiny. Until now. This remarkable, intriguing, and provocative book offers a completely plausible new candidate; Sir Henry Neville.
