ENDORSEMENTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

This is the first installment of the authors' FINGERPRINT TRILOGY whose major thesis
is that the name William Shakespeare is but one of a range of pseudonyms adopted by Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford. This first volume provides the first cogent explanation for why de Vere chose to write his masterpieces under pseudonyms, effectively muting a familiar orthodox objection. The authors treat in detail Shakespeare's wordplay on his Oxford title. The remaining installments of the trilogy include the two forthcoming books: Faerie Love. In all three volumes, two professional linguists show how linguistic considerations bear on Shakespeare's identity, and they do so in a way that can be understood by everyone. back to homepage | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
