"An Idle and Most False Imposition"; The Shakespeare Authorship Question - Part Four: "The Truth Will Out."

In the penultimate installment of this weekly series on the Shakespeare authorship question, I bring the debate up to the modern day, to the most successful claim that someone else wrote the works attributed to the Bard, which also has relied on conspiracy and hidden codes and even on talking with ghosts.

"An Idle and Most False Imposition"; The Shakespeare Authorship Question - Part Two: The Baconian Heresy

In the first part of a special WEEKLY 4-part series on the Shakespeare authorship controversy, I look at Shakespeare's deification as a godlike literary figure, examine the dearth of information about him, which led to many forgeries and much conjecture, and trace the development of baseless doubts about his identity.
