Who killed William Shakespeare? : the murderer, the motive, the means
Stirling, Simon Andrew2013
Books
Shakespeare was a dissident whose works were highly critical of the regimes of Elizabeth I and James I. This text examines the means, motive and the opportunity that led to his murder, and explains why Shakespeare had to be 'stopped'. From forensic analysis of his death mask to the hunt for his missing skull, the circumstances of Shakespeare's death are reconstructed and his life reconsidered in the light of fresh discoveries. What emerges is a portrait of a genius who spoke his mind and was silenced by his greatest literary rival.
