Overview
A lively and scholarly account of the most spectacular and daring of the Shakespeare forgeries, those which first appeared in England and Ireland in 1795-1796. The forgeries, written by a seventeen-year-old Irish lad, consisted of deeds, letters, documents, and two spurious plays, and fooled Boswell and other knowledgeable critics.
