William Shakespeare was a 'black Jewish woman', a new book has claimed.

The real playwright is identified as the historical figure Emilia Bassano in The Real Shakespeare, by an LSE graduate and feminist historian.

She was a poet with connections to the Tudor court and wrote the Shakespearean canon of plays using the pen-name 'Shakespeare', according to the book.

But her work is said to have been stolen from an uneducated interloper - William Shakespeare - from Stratford-upon-Avon.

The book's author Irene Coslet argues that the idea of a 'white' genius was preferred to Bassano's identity as a black female playwright.

Well, duh, why else did “Shakespeare” include the “Black Prince” in the play “Henry V”?
