Leonid M. Grigoryev's comment about the book “The Game of William Shakespeare, or the Secret of the Great Phoenix” for IQ.HSE

Leonid M. Grigoryev, Academic Supervisor, Professor of the School of World Economy, shared his impressions about the book “The Game of William Shakespeare, or the Secret of the Great Phoenix” with the scientific and educational portal IQ.HSE.

115 years ago, Roger Manners, 5th Earl of Rutland, appeared among the candidates for the authors of Shakespeare's works. This was suggested in 1907 by the German literary critic Karl Bleibtreu. And in Russia, 90 years later, with the same answer to the “Shakespearean question”, Ilya Gililov's book “The Game about William Shakespeare, or the Secret of the Great Phoenix” was published. The work is innovative, polemical, similar to “the hard labor of an archaeologist who discovered London's poetic Pompeii,” says Leonid M. Grigoryev. “The reader of this book,” he says, “does not have to choose what he loves more: detective, mystery or conspiracy – it's all three in one!”
