Synopsis

Unlock a hidden clock in Shakespeare’s plays.

This nonfiction study reveals how a compass‑clock dial and cipher work together to illuminate the text of the Folio, suggesting a buried method behind the words.

This work traces the idea that Francis Bacon used a cipher to safeguard meaning in Shakespeare’s plays. It explains how the dial and its hours are used to organize time, place, and mood within scenes, offering readers a fresh way to read familiar lines. The book also surveys key passages and components of the cipher, with notes on how the method might be applied to the plays’ structure and language. It stays focused on the premise and its implications for interpretation, avoiding speculative invention beyond the presented material.

  • Discover how hours, gates, and directions are used to position scenes and lines
  • See examples drawn from Shakespeare’s works and Bacon’s own writings
  • Explore how the author interprets the cipher’s role in securing attribution and meaning
Ideal for readers of literary mysteries, Shakespeare enthusiasts, and anyone curious about how hidden systems can shape a classic text.
