''An Authentic Account of the Shakespearian Manuscripts, Etc.'' is a book written by William Henry Ireland and published in 1796. The book is an account of Ireland’s discovery of a collection of manuscripts that he claimed were written by William Shakespeare. The manuscripts included letters, legal documents, and even a previously unknown play called ''Vortigern and Rowena.'' Ireland’s discovery caused a sensation in the literary world, and many experts initially believed that the manuscripts were genuine. However, doubts soon arose, and Ireland was eventually exposed as a fraud. In his book, Ireland provides a detailed account of how he acquired the manuscripts and how he was able to convince experts that they were genuine. He also includes facsimiles of some of the documents and provides a transcription of ''Vortigern and Rowena.'' Overall, ''An Authentic Account of the Shakespearian Manuscripts, Etc.'' is an important historical document that sheds light on one of the most famous literary hoaxes of all time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
