“Did Shakespeare Have a Ghostwriter"?”

Meet Michael Blanding, author of, North by Shakespeare: A Rogue Scholar's Quest for the Truth Behind the Bard's Work. He will be joined by Dennis McCarthy, a self taught scholar who has spent more than a decade scrutinizing Shakespeare's plays in a quest to prove that little known playwright, Sir Thomas North, might have been the source of some of Shakespeare’s most memorable works. Together, the two have offered a provocative theory. Shakespeare might have had a ghostwriter. In addition to bringing stunning new information to the Shakespeare authorship debate, the book poses important questions about what it would take to change 450 years of deeply held belief about anything.
