Tales From Shakespeare
The Critics Versus Shakspere: A Brief for the Defendant
Francis Asbury Smith (1837-1915) was the author of: The Critics Versus Shakspere: A Brief for the Defendant (1907). "Many years ago, I was retained in the great case of THE CRITICS AGAINST SHAKSPERE, the most celebrated on the calendar of history during three centuries. Unlike other cases, it has been repeatedly decided, and as often reopened and reheard before the most eminent judges, who have again and again non-suited the plaintiffs. Appeals have availed nothing to reverse those decisions. New actions have been brought on the ground of newly discovered evidence; counsel have summed up the testimony from all lands, from whole libraries and literatures, and the great jury of mankind have uniformly rendered a verdict of no cause of action.

The Shakespeare Myth
Example in this ebookTHE FOLIO OF THE PLAYS, 1623.IT is now universally admitted that the Plays known as Shakespeare's are the greatest "Birth of Time," the most wonderful product of the human mind which the world has ever seen, that they evince the ripest classical scholarship, the most perfect knowledge of Law, and the most intimate acquaintance with all the intricacies of the highest Court life.The Plays as we know them, appeared in the Folio, published in 1623, seven years after Shakespeare's death in 1616. This volume contains thirty-six plays. Of this number only eight are substantially in the form in which they were printed in Shakespeare's lifetime. Six are greatly improved. Five are practically rewritten, and seventeen are not known to have been printed before Shakespeare's death, although thirteen plays of similar names are registered or in some way referred to.The following particulars are mainly derived from Reed's "Bacon our Shakespeare," published 1902. The spelling of the first Folio of 1623 has, however, been strictly followed.THE EIGHT WHICH ARE PRINTED IN THE FOLIO SUBSTANTIALLY AS THEY ORIGINALLY APPEARED IN THE QUARTOS ARE:?1. Much ado about Nothing.2. Loves Labour lost. *3. Midsommer Nights Dreame.4. The Merchant of Venice.5. The First part of King Henry the fourth.6. The Second part of K. Henry the fourth.7. Romeo and Juliet.8. The Tragedie of Troylus and Cressida. **? ? ?* Note.?The scene of the play is Navarre and one of the? ? ?characters is Biron. A passport given to Bacon's brother? ? ?Anthony in 1586 from the court of Navarre, is signed? ? ?"Biron." (British Museum Add. MS. 4125).? ? ?** Note.?This has a new title and a Prologue in the Folio.? ? ?This extremely learned play which we are told was "never? ? ?clapper-clawd with the palmes of the vulger.... or sullied? ? ?with the smoaky breath of the multitude," has recently been? ? ?shewn by Mrs. Hinton Stewart to be a satire upon the court? ? ?of King James I.To be continue in this ebook
