Contested Will - Who Wrote Shakespeare
Contested Will - Who Wrote
Shakespeare
    For two hundred years
    after Shakespeare's
    death, no one thought to
    argue that somebody else
    had written his plays.
    Since then dozens of
    rival candidates -
    including Sir Francis
    Bacon and the Earl of
    Oxford - have been
    proposed as their true
    author. Contested Will
    unravels the mystery of
    when and why so many
    people began to question
    whether Shakespeare wrote
    the plays (among them
    such leading writers and
    artists as Sigmund Freud,
    Henry James, Mark
    Twain, Helen Keller,
    Orson Welles, and Sir
    Derek Jacobi).
    Shakespeare scholar James
    Shapiro's fascinating
    search for the source of
    this controversy retraces
    a path strewn with
    fabricated documents,
    calls for trials, false
    claimants, concealed
    identity, bald-faced
    deception and a failure
    to grasp what could not
    be imagined. If Contested
    Will does not end the
    authorship question once
    and for all, it will
    nonetheless irrevocably
    change the nature of the
    debate by confronting
    what's really contested:
    are the plays and poems
    of Shakespeare
    autobiographical, and if
    so, do they hold the key
    to the question of who
    wrote them?

Andy Warhol: His Controversial Life, Art and Colourful Times
Andy Warhol: His Controversial
Life, Art And Colourful Times
    With a sleight of hand,
    Andy Warhol redefined the
    boundaries of painting,
    sculpture and film. The
    assembly-line effect of
    his ?machine-made? images
    allowed Warhol to fix the
    viewers gaze on
    mass culture, closing
    the gap between art and
    life, bringing the old
    hierarchies of art to a
    collapse. But who was the
    man behind the public
    pose? The Factory was
    driven by sexual
    experimentation and the
    obsessive pursuit of
    beauty, but the figure
    at its centre somehow
    remained apart. His
    inherent discomfort with
    physical intimacy and his
    perpetual place outside
    the art establishment
    meant that Warhol would
    observe but never engage,
    that he wanted to be
    seen, but was never
    discovered. Based on
    extensive interviews and
    insights from those who
    knew him best, Andy
    Warhol disentangles the
    myths of Warhol ? fraught
    with contradictions ?
    from the man he truly
    was, and offers a vivid,
    entertaining, and a
    detailed, insightful
    chronicle of his rise,
    as well as a critical
    examination of Warhol's
    most important works.
    Tony Scherman has been
    contributing editor for
    Life and written about
    art and music for the New
    York Times and Rolling
    Stone amongst many
    others. He is an
    aware-winning author.
    David Dalton was founding
    editor of Rolling Stone
    and has co-authored
    numerous biographies
    including Jim Morrison
    and the autobiography of
    Marrianne and Faithfull.
