Bacon Cryptograms in Shake-Speare and Other Studies (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781564595386)

Bacon Cryptograms in Shake-Speare and Other Studies is a book written by Isaac Hull Platt that explores the theory that Francis Bacon was the true author of the works attributed to William Shakespeare. The book delves into the use of cryptograms, or hidden messages, in the works of Shakespeare and argues that they contain evidence that Bacon was the real writer. Platt also examines other aspects of Shakespearean scholarship, including the authorship question, the influence of classical literature on Shakespeare's works, and the role of astrology in Elizabethan England. The book is a comprehensive study of the Baconian theory and its impact on Shakespearean scholarship.1905.
