WE WILL NOT BE UNDERSOLD! Click here for our low price guarantee Binding Type: Paperback - See All Available Formats & Editions Published: June 2009 Annotation: Few are aware that the true identity of William Shakespeare represents Western Civilization's greatest mystery. Even fewer realize that the commonly accepted authorship of William Shaksper of Stratford, who was illiterate, is a complete hoax manufactured by England's most powerful politicians. The hoax survived largely unscathed until 1920 when J. Thomas Looney's brilliant book, ""Shakespeare" Identified," plucked Edward de Vere out of historical obscurity and introduced him to the world as the real Shakespeare. Fighting the astonishing power of Conventional Wisdom, de Vereans have steadily built their case through solid research in the past ninety years. This book series salvages fascinating, neglected authorship material which repeatedly and convincingly shows that Edward de Vere was the uniquely creative genius who wrote under the coerced pen name of William Shakespeare. |
