The Religious Life of the Zuni Child
by Matilda Coxe Stevenson and Frederick Webb Hodge
On the Authorship Controversy is about how a historical deception has survived as a tradition for nearly 400 years, despite numerous challenges - this is, of course, referring to the `tradition' that the works attributed to William Shakespeare of Stratford-on-Avon were actually written by him, despite no evidence of schooling or access to libraries, lack of recognition by other playwrights when he died, and much more.
