<<Unsettled by the success of the Shakespeare Authorship Coalition and its Declaration of Reasonable Doubt About the Identity of William Shakespeare, the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust in Stratford-upon-Avon claims in its book Shakespeare Beyond Doubt that there is “no doubt” that Shakspere of Stratford wrote the works of William Shakespeare. This book questions that claim, and thus its near-identical title, Shakespeare Beyond Doubt? In this devastating reply a dozen top scholars expose the bankruptcy of the SBT claim and challenge them to defend their position under cross-examination in a televised mock trial.

Endorsers include SAC patrons Sir Derek Jacobi, Mark Rylance and Michael York, and academics in the fields of English Literature, History, Theater, Anthropology, Social Psychology, Psychiatry and Physics.

“Authorities tell us there is no doubt that Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare. Should we trust them? This book comes at a critical time, with defenders of orthodoxy deceiving the public about how weak their case really is. Their vulnerability leads them to slander the 'heretics,' comparing authorship doubters to Holocaust deniers and creationists. It is time to replace the ad hominem attacks with a serious re-examination of the evidence. This book does just that.”

— Richard Waugaman, M.D., Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Faculty Expert on Shakespeare for Media Contacts, Georgetown University, Washington, D.C.

This book comes at a critical time, with defenders of orthodoxy deceiving the public about how weak their case really is. Their vulnerability leads them to slander the 'heretics,' comparing authorship doubters to Holocaust deniers and creationists. It is time to replace the ad hominem attacks with a serious re-examination of the evidence. This book does just that.”
