I, Billy Shakespeare is a 1965 comedic book by William Peter Blatty.

Contents

Synopsis

William Shakespeare's ghost angrily denounces suggestions that he did not write the works attributed to him.

Reception

S. T. Joshi noted that the book "achieved little or no critical and commercial success". [1] Kirkus Reviews considered it "abject" and lacking in plot, and observed that despite some "amusing truth(s)", Blatty "had no gift for epithets or spleen". [2]
