`A major contribution to the greatest literary puzzle of all. This is a revealing, scrupulous, carefully documented historical work. It devastates the crumbling claims for the man of Stratford, and offers a realistic and persuasive case for a credible candidate.' * Dr John Spiers, Senior Research Fellow, Institute of English Studies, University of London * `Casson and Rubinstein reveal remarkable discoveries in the margins of Henry Neville's books, in his letters and handwriting, linking him to the works of Shakespeare. This documentary evidence shifts the ground: in our search for Shakespeare we should look to Neville.' * Greg Thompson, award-winning theatre director and Entrepreneur in Residence, University College, London * `With meticulous and jaw-dropping discoveries, all the pieces of the authorship puzzle have been slotted into place - and the fit is impeccable.' * John O'Donnell, Monash University, Melbourne *
