Author and Columbia University professor, James Shapiro, speaks at the Newberry Library tonight at 6pm. Shapiro's latest book Contested Will: Who Wrote Shakespeare examines the centuries-old hypothesis of some historians and critics (including Mark Twain and Sigmund Freud) who argued multiple writers or more affluent, well-educated authors penned the Bard's works. Free and open to the public. Reservations are not required. The Newberry Library is at 60 West Walton Street in the Gold Coast neighborhood.
