Citation And Examination Of William Shakespeare

The Citation And Examination Of William Shakespeare is a book written by Walter Savage Landor. This book is a fictionalized account of the trial of William Shakespeare, who is accused of being a fraud and a liar. The story is set in the early 17th century, and the trial takes place in a courtroom in London. The book is divided into two parts, the first part being the citation of Shakespeare, and the second part being his examination.The citation is a formal accusation against Shakespeare, brought by a group of scholars who believe that he did not write the plays and sonnets attributed to him. The examination is the trial itself, where Shakespeare is questioned by the court and his accusers. The book is written in a dialogue format, with the characters speaking in a formal, archaic style.Throughout the book, Landor explores the question of Shakespeare's authorship, and whether or not he was a fraud. He also delves into the politics and social dynamics of the time, as well as the role of literature and art in society. The book is a thought-provoking and engaging read, and is a must-read for anyone interested in Shakespeare, literature, or history.About one hour before noontide the youth WILLIAM SHAKSPEARE, accused of deer-stealing, and apprehended for that offence, was brought into the great hall at Charlecote, where, having made his obeisance, it was most graciously permitted him to stand.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
