Precis 3: Who Were Shakespeare?

In "Who Were Shakespeare," author Ron Allen gives facts about possible men who could have been or claimed to have been the author of various works known to be written by William Shakespeare. Allen uses individual biographies of different men who lived the same time as Shakespeare and he also compares this information to the plays and poems. The purpose of Allen's book is to chronicle the lives of several men who either claimed to be or have been suspected of being the real Shakespeare and to compare the lives of those men to the life and works of Shakespeare. The intended audience of the book includes historians and people who are Shakespeare fans.
