An exponent of the theory that William Shakespeare, the modestly educated provincial man from Stratford-upon-Avon, could not have written the works – full of erudition and the accurate professional jargon – which are attributed to him, Mark Twain offers an eloquent and entertaining analysis of this issue of authorship, peppered with personal recollections of his own first encounters with the Bar's plays on a boat on the Mississippi. Balancing humour, insight and vitriol, 'Is Shakespeare Dead?' is a provocative contribution to the tradition of Shakespeare-doubting, as well as a fine example of the great American novelist's critical writing. This volume also includes Twain's racy Elizabethan pastiche, '1601', which features Shakespeare as one of its characters.
