WHO WAS IN REALITY SHAKESPEARE?
He article is devoted to the review of the book on Shakespeare by I.O. Shaitanov. The book was printed by Mo-lodaya Gvardiya publishing house in 2013. It is not only Shakespeare's biography but a kind of answer to anti-Stratfordians, who still refuse to accept Shakespeare's authorship. Shaitanov demonstrates the groundlessness of such an attitude. The book contains references to the classical researchers in the field of Shakespeare Studies and to the re-cent discoveries in this sphere. The biographer also advances several new ideas of Shakespeare's life and works, which are supported by a careful critical analysis and rely upon established facts. The book is written with lively original lan-guage and addressed to a wide circle of readers.
