The Philosophy of the Plays of Shakspere Unfolded: With a Preface by Nathaniel Hawthorne (Cambridge Library Collection - Shakespeare and Renaissance Drama)

This controversial 1857 book argues that the plays of 'Shakspere' were in fact written by a coterie of highly educated aristocrats, to disseminate a philosophy which was not intended to be understood by the popular audiences to whom they were ostensibly directed. It sparked a still-continuing debate on their authorship.
