Shakespeare's Bones

By Clement Mansfield Ingleby

Book Overview

Shakespeare's Bones is a non-fiction book written by C. M. Ingleby that explores the mystery surrounding the final resting place of William Shakespeare. The book delves into the history of Shakespeare's burial and the various theories and rumors that have circulated over the years regarding the location of his bones. Ingleby examines the evidence and presents a compelling argument for the authenticity of the current burial site at Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon. Along the way, he also provides insight into the life and times of the famous playwright and sheds light on the cultural significance of his work. Shakespeare's Bones is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the legacy of one of the greatest writers in the English language.""Their first task was to raise out of the vault altogether six coffins, which it was found would bear removal. By various tokens it was proved that none of these could be that of which they were in search. There were several others which could not be removed, but which held together so long as they were left where they lay. All the rest were in the direst confusion. Two hours and a half were spent in subjecting the ghastly heap to a thorough but fruitless search: not a trace of any kind rewarded their trouble.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
