This paper discusses the impact that Shakespeare forgeries have on our understanding and appreciation of literature which turns history inside out and back to front. Were these forgeries an attempt to construct a narrative on the life of the author which simply did not exist. These forgeries were intended to fill the vacuum created by the absence of evidence or facts about the life of "Shakespeare" but nevertheless simply enforce the mythopoeia that surrounds creative works of dramatic art. It is also bizarre that these forgeries have a provenance, history and value all of their own.
