Contested Will

The debate around Shakespeare's true identity has persisted for centuries. I'm curious what motivated James Shapiro to take on this complex topic and how he approached balancing evidence and skepticism.

The book presents various perspectives, but I kept wondering which side the evidence truly favors. Did the arguments for or against Shakespeare's authorship sway anyone's opinion differently?

It made me question how much of our literary canon is accepted as fact versus interpretation. I'm curious about the broader implications Shapiro draws about the nature of authorship.
