About The Book
Description
Author
The Birthplace is a short story by Henry James first published in his collection The Better Sort in 1903. A witty satire on the excesses of bardolatry the story reflects James's skepticism about the authorship of Shakespeare's plays. Beyond the narrow scholarly issue the story also shows a typically imaginative Jamesian protagonist inventing an alternative reality in his lecture on the Bard's supposed childhood activities.
