520 _a"The Shakespearean Myth: William Shakespeare and Circumstantial Evidence" by Appleton Morgan is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the controversies surrounding the authorship of the plays attributed to William Shakespeare, arguing that there are significant gaps in evidence regarding his role as their sole creator. Morgan explores the notion that the legacy of the Stratford-born playwright may not be as straightforward or singular as traditionally believed. The opening of the text establishes the premise that, while Shakespeare is celebrated as a literary genius, the circumstances of his life raise questions about whether he could have authored the works attributed to him. Morgan discusses the lack of contemporary documentation supporting Shakespeare's authorship and highlights contrasting accounts of his life, which portray him as a mere actor and theater manager rather than a profound author. He suggests that the evidence typically cited in favor of Shakespeare’s literary status is insufficient and challenges readers to reconsider the historical narrative surrounding such an iconic figure.
