9781330341896: The Shakespeare Myth

Synopsis

This book aims to prove that the plays known as Shakespeare's are the greatest and most complex literary works ever written, the ultimate product of human creativity, and that they demonstrate not only a classical scholarship but an intimate knowledge of the intricacies of court life. First published in 1623, these plays have since become universally recognized as the ultimate expression of the human condition. However, the author argues that William Shakespeare, the Stratford-upon-Avon actor and theatre owner, was merely a left-handed figurehead, a pseudonym behind which the real author, Francis Bacon, the Elizabethan era philosopher, scientist, and statesman, could safely publish. The author presents numerous contemporary visual and documentary proofs to support this compelling claim, which reveals that beneath the surface of these plays lie the encrypted messages and hidden meanings that proclaim Bacon as the true genius behind Shakespeare's immortal works.
