520 _a"William Shakespere, of Stratford-on-Avon" by Scott F. Surtees is a detailed examination of the life and times of William Shakespeare, presented as a biography and critical inquiry written in the late 19th century. This book delves into various aspects of Shakespeare's life, including his origins, marriage, and the societal context that led to numerous theories questioning the authorship of the plays attributed to him. Surtees challenges the conventional narrative surrounding Shakespeare's literary contributions and explores alternative authorship theories, focusing particularly on the notion that the true author may have been Sir Anthony Sherley. In the book, Surtees explores Shakespeare's early life in Stratford-on-Avon, discussing the various relics associated with him, such as supposed personal items and his epitaph. He examines the circumstances surrounding Shakespeare's marriage to Anne Hathaway and the cultural landscape of Elizabethan England, aiming to shed light on the playwright's character and reliability. Furthermore, Surtees presents a series of conjectures and historical anecdotes that question the authenticity of the Shakespearean works, suggesting that different individuals like Sherley may have played a significant role in their creation. Through meticulous analysis and argumentation, Surtees presents a provocative perspective that invites readers to reconsider the legacy of one of literature's most celebrated figures.
