The English author and literary critic Charles Walter Williams is the author of the play "A Myth of Shakespeare". The play features a mythical Shakespeare as the main character as he interacts with the characters of his better known plays such as, 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', 'Love's Labour Lost', 'The Merchant to Venice', 'Romeo and Juliet', 'King Henry IV', 'Antony and Cleopatra', among others. Williams explains, "The following verse was written, at the suggestion and largely on the plan of Mr. A. C. Ward, of the City Literary Institute, for a Shakespeare festival; the first part for the afternoon performance, the second for the evening. Its purpose therefore is only to provide a momently credible framework for representative scenes and speeches from the Plays. It does not pretend to be an episodical play, after Mr. Drinkwater's model, and here and there—especially in the scenes relating to the Court—it allows itself a freedom of anachronism which its title may excuse. It contains no thesis of Shakespeare's life, character, or genius, except that he was a born poet and working dramatist. The scenes included were intended, quite mythically, to represent barely possible incidents in his life, passages read to or by his friends, or performances in his theatre..."

M. Guizot, in his History of England, states the Shakespearean problem in a few words, when he says: "Let us finally mention the great comedian, the great tragedian, the great philosopher, the great poet, who was in his lifetime butcher's apprentice, poacher, actor, theatrical manager, and whose name is William Shakespeare. In twenty years, amid the duties of his profession, the care of mounting his pieces, of instructing his actors, he composed the thirty-two tragedies and comedies, in verse and prose, rich with an incomparable knowledge of human nature, and an unequaled power of imagination, terrible and comic by turns, profound and delicate, homely and touching, responding to every emotion of the soul, divining all that was beyond the range of his experience and for ever remaining the treasure of the age—all this being accomplished, Shakespeare left the theater and the busy world, at the age of forty-five, to return to Stratford-on-Avon, where lived peacefully in the most modest retirement, writing nothing and never returning to the stage—ignored and unknown if his works had not forever marked out his place in the world—a strange example of an imagination so powerful, suddenly ceasing to produce, and closing, once for all, the door to the efforts of genius."

Excerpt from Was the Shakespeare After All a Myth It is not even referred to in later works upon the subject. Like a faint meteor it had shone upon the ordinary sky and was lost in the superior light of the permanent constellations; was regarded as something unworthy the consideration of the acutest observer of the golden patines alluded to by Lorenzo in one of the greatest dramas credited to a genius which did not conceive them; was not a sufficient genius for such conceptions. If any one had reflected upon the Book of books he would have found therein a question which in itself dissipates the myth of Shakespeare. "How knoweth this man letters, having never learned." This truth was ignored by the unreflecting in the case of the play-actor, and manager, transmuted into an unsurpassed and unsurpassable genius by blind imagination and credulity, and finally idolatry. The iron rule "There is no royal road to learning" has never had an exception. The Warwickshire butcher-boy, adventurer and thrifty money-getter, could not - even with the transcendent gift of inventive perspicacity-have mastered the knowledge, art, science, philosophy and language displayed in his poetry and plays. Such a genius would be more than a miracle, because human after all, - without a transcendent miracle greater than any which the world has yet witnessed, and without the personal exertion of divine powers by divinity a sheer impossibility. "Oh, Shakespeare - Immortal bard - Mighty genius - Swan of Avon - thou unapproachable! Arc there no more fish, no more krakens in that wondrous sea from which thou wert taken? Shall there be no more cakes and ale? [as poor Artemus Ward said, "N. B. This is Sarkassum!"] How prone the English people are to kill off their great men! They first raise them up to the loftiest pinnacle of fame, and then, like the eagle with the tortoise, or the monkey which mounts the highest tree with his cocoa-nut, they dash their victims "all to pieces" upon the rocks below. Thus, also, they play the game of nine-pins with all their great statesmen. They set them up, ay, "set them up, my boy!" for the pleasure of knocking them down. And then, again, they drink to the full, at the Castalian fount and the inclination is irresistible to demolish the vessel that has served them: "Sweet the pleasure After drinking - to break the glasses!"
