title: Let Shakspere Die: Long Live the Merry Madcap Lord Roger Manner, 5th Earl of Rutland the Real "Shakespeare"
author: Brian Dutton
description: Brian Dutton had to overcome adversity in youth, but found his way (essay on Nietzsche) to university (Keele, 1961-1965) where he studied English and Politics. He became a teacher. In retirement, he solved the Shakespeare Authorship Problem. It took him ten years to research and pen his discoveries. Now relaxing, he is relieved to be free of Shaksperean hypocrisy and mendacity. His ardent hope is that Roger Manners, 5th Earl of Rutland, will be accepted as the real author of the canon. His interests are conversation, reading (anything), cryptic crosswords, classical music, chess, films, and horse racing.

  THE Sixth Earl of Saltash glanced round the immense dining-table, and was
  conscious of a glow of satisfaction. It was an emotion not shared by his
  butler, or by his steward, each of whom had served the Fifth Earl, and
  remembered, with a wealth of nostalgic detail, the various occasions upon
  which the State Dining-room had been used to entertain Royalty, foreign
  Ambassadors, and ton parties of great size and brilliance. The Fifth Earl had
  been a Public Man. It was otherwise with his son, who had neither the desire
  nor the ability to fill a great office. Indeed, so little expectation had he
  of entertaining even the most undistinguished member of a royal house that the
  State Apartments at Easterby might have fallen into total disuse had he not,
  at the age of thirty, become betrothed to the Lady Charlotte Calne.
