Summary "Citation and Examination of William Shakspeare" is a historical account written in the late 19th century, rediscovered from original papers. This work is a dramatized depiction of an actual event where a young William Shakespeare is brought before Sir Thomas Lucy, a magistrate, to be examined for deer-stealing. The book combines elements of wit and humor while portraying the social dynamics and legal practices of Elizabethan England, exploring themes of justice, reputation, and ambition through Shakespeare's character. At the start of the book, the youthful William Shakespeare is humorously introduced as he stands accused of deer-stealing before Sir Thomas Lucy. The atmosphere is tense yet playful, as Shakespeare engages in witty exchanges with the magistrate and his chaplain, Silas Gough, creatively defending himself while avoiding serious consequences. The examination unfolds with Shakespeare's clever wordplay and repartee, overshadowing the gravity of the charges against him. Through the early dialogues and interactions among the characters, readers are treated to a lively exploration of Shakespeare's personality and the societal norms of the period, setting the stage for a unique blend of historical fiction and comedic commentary.
