 | The Shakespeare authorship question is an ongoing debate. Were the works attributed to William Shakespeare actually written by another writer, or group of writers? The subject remains virtually taboo in academic circles but one thing is certain: the decision by professors to all but ignore the authorship question hasn't made it disappear. If anything, more people are drawn to it than ever. |
James Shapiro will present an interesting, even-handed and lucid exploration of the history of the authorship question in this event. He is the Larry Miller Professor of English at Columbia University and the author of four books, most recently A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare: 1599, which won the BBC Samuel Johnson prize.
