About this book
The Shakespearean Myth, with the subtitle William Shakespeare and Circumstantial Evidence, is credited to Appleton Morgan. The dedication tells its recipient that the writer does not know his opinion on the matter treated in these pages and that very possibly he will disagree with every line of the Brief. The contents list names, among others, Part I, The Mystery, Part II, The Appeal to History, and Part III, The Jonsonian Testimony.
The text says nobody asked who wrote Shakespeare because nobody seemed to consider Shakespeare as any thing worth speculating about. The text cites Fuller, in 1622, as chronicling that William Shakespeare's genius was jocular, his comedies merry, his tragedies wonderful, his wit quick, but that his learning was very little. The text says that William, when called to sign his own last will and testament three times, spelled his name a different way each time.
