"Is Shakespeare Dead?" by Mark Twain delves into the enduring debate surrounding the authorship of Shakespeare's works, challenging conventional beliefs with Twain's characteristic wit and skepticism…
Scattered here and there through the stacks of unpublished manuscript which constitute this formidable autobiography and diary of mine, certain chapters will in some distant future be found which deal with claimants.
Claimants historically notorious.
Louis XVII, claimant.
Arthur Orton, claimant.
Mary Baker G. Eddy, claimant, and the rest of them.
Eminent claimants, successful claimants, defeated claimants, royal claimants, pleb claimants, showy claimants, shabby claimants, revered claimants, despised claimants, twinkle star-like here and there and yonder through the mists of history and legend and tradition.
And oh, all the darling tribe are clothed in mystery and romance, and we read about them with deep interest and discuss them with loving sympathy or with rancorous resentment, according to which side we hitch ourselves to.
It has always been so with the human race.
There was never a claimant that couldn't get a hearing, nor one that couldn't accumulate a rapturous following, no matter how flimsy and apparently unauthentic his claim might be.
Arthur Orton's claim that he was the lost Tichborne baronet come to life again was as flimsy as Mrs. Eddy's that she wrote Science and Health from the direct dictation of the deity.
Yet in England, nearly forty years ago, Orton had a huge army of devotees and incorrigible adherents, many of whom remained stubbornly unconvinced after their fact god had been proven an imposter and jailed as a perjurer.
And today, Mrs. Eddy's following is not only immense, but is daily augmenting in numbers and enthusiasm.
Orton had many fine and educated minds among his adherents.
Mrs. Eddy has had the like among hers from the beginning.
Her church is as well equipped in those particulars as in any other church.
Claimants can always count upon a following.
It doesn't matter who they are, nor what they claim, nor whether they come with documents or without.
It was always so.
Down out of the long-vanished past, across the abyss of the ages, if you listen, you can still hear the believing multitudes shouting for Perkin Warbeck and Lambert Simnel.
A friend has sent me a new book from England, The Shakespeare Problem Restated.
Well restated and closely reasoned, and my fifty years' interest in that matter, asleep for the last three years, is excited once more.
