Publisher's Synopsis
""The True Story of the Stratford Bust"" is a book written by Charlotte Carmichael Stopes and published in 1904. The book tells the story of the famous bust of William Shakespeare that is located in Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. Stopes argues that the bust is a contemporary likeness of Shakespeare and not a posthumous representation. She provides evidence to support this claim, including the similarity of the bust to other contemporary portraits of Shakespeare and the fact that it was created during his lifetime. Stopes also explores the history of the bust and its significance to Shakespearean scholarship. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Shakespearean studies and the history of art.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
