    "An Idle and Most False Imposition"; The Shakespeare Authorship Question - Part One: Drama's God

    In the first part of a special WEEKLY 4-part series on the Shakespeare authorship controversy, I look at Shakespeare's deification as a godlike literary figure, examine the dearth of information about him, which led to many forgeries and much conjecture, and trace the development of baseless doubts about his identity.
