Shakespeare 400th Birthday Sparks Debate On Authorship
In 1961 the world marks William Shakespeare's 400th birthday and faces theories that others, including Francis Bacon, wrote his plays. The piece argues Shakespeare's modest education and ground-up theatre work fueled his genius, while defending his status as the universal literary figure of the English language. It notes his background, education, career as an actor, and adaptability across genres, and invites letters to Dr. Adler for a chance to win the Great Books set.
