""Is Shakespeare Dead? From My Autobiography"" is a book written by Mark Twain in 1909. The book is a satirical examination of the authorship of William Shakespeare's plays and poems. Twain questions whether Shakespeare actually wrote the works attributed to him, and instead suggests that they were written by someone else, such as Francis Bacon or Christopher Marlowe. Throughout the book, Twain presents his arguments and evidence for his theory, while also providing humorous commentary on the subject. He examines the historical context in which Shakespeare lived and worked, and the lack of concrete evidence linking him to the plays and poems. The book is divided into several chapters, each exploring a different aspect of the debate over Shakespeare's authorship. Twain also includes anecdotes from his own life and experiences, adding a personal touch to the discussion. Overall, ""Is Shakespeare Dead? From My Autobiography"" is a thought-provoking and entertaining read that challenges readers to consider the possibility that one of the greatest literary figures in history may not have been who he was believed to be.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
