Is this the face of the author who really wrote the works of William Shakespeare ?
One of the most intriguing puzzles of all-time is the continuing speculation over the true identity of the world’s greatest playwright.
Most Shakespeare scholars believe there is no mystery at all: the Bard of Avon was indeed William Shakespeare.
However, the sceptics say the plays and sonnets could have been penned by Francis Bacon, Christopher Marlowe or even Francis Neville.
But, now, another contender has had his Elizabethan hat thrown into the ring: Fulke Greville. To which most people will say: Who?
The intriguing prospect of yet another claim to Shakespeare’s crown was first raised on BBC Radio 4’s Mark Steel In Town.
