This book traces the formation and impact of the New Shakspere Society, created in 1873, which dedicated itself to solving the mysteries of Shakespeare’s authorship by way of science. This promise, however, was undermined not only by the antics of its director, Frederick J. Furnivall, but also by the inexactitudes of the tests. Jeffrey Kahan puzzles out how a society geared towards science quickly devolved into a series of grudge matches. Nonetheless, the New Shakspere Society set the bibliographical and biographical agenda for the next century—an unusual legacy for an organization that was rife with intrigue, enmity, and incompetence; lives were ruined, lawyers consulted, and scholarship (mostly bad) produced and published.

Excerpt from A Biographical Chronicle of the English Drama, 1559-1642, Vol. 1 of 2 This book in outward form closely resembles the Biographia Dramatica of 1764, 1782, and 1812, founded on Langbaine's Dramatic Poets of 1691, which contains all that is of any value in J. O. Halliwell's Dictionary of Old English Plays, 1860, a mere scissors-and-paste compilation, with a few additions, but inaccurate and void of all historical grasp of the subject. Langbaine's book was excellent for its date, and the successive labours of Baker, Reed, and Jones, the editors of the Biographia, had considerable value; but Halliwell, by ignoring all notice of the biographies of dramatic authors, deprived their work of its principal recommendation to notice as a guide to the student. Yet his book has hitherto been accepted as our chief work of reference on this important subject it is a misleading and careless one in every way.
