 The Shakespeare Authorship Question
It seems evident to traditionalists that researching Shakespeare's life was simply not important to his century; when his first biography was finally written, by Nicholas Rowe in 1709, it was a perfunctory effort intended merely to preface the first truly-edited text of his plays.
Rowe filled much of his "Life of Shakespeare" with commentary on the works; the rest was composed of hearsay gathered by the actor Thomas Betterton, of which Edmond Malone late in the century claimed that, of eleven biographical statements in Rowe's "Life," eight are demonstrably false.
The anti-Stratfordian movement was publicly triggered by the claim of Delia Bacon in the 1850's that Francis Bacon was the real author of Shakespeare's works, but writers who alleged that there were secret messages to be deciphered in the plays caused much doubt in the literate public.
