It was not until 1920 that J. Thomas Looney plucked Edward de Vere out of historical obscurity and introduced him as the real Shakespeare. In the next fifty years, powerful articles and books validated his authorship claim but much of this evidence has been neglected.

The first five volumes of this book series salvage this early research which makes Edward de Vere by far the likeliest candidate for being the great playwright, William Shakespeare.

In Volume One, you’ll learn:

● Why Shakespeare’s breadth of knowledge and intimate familiarity with England’s Royal Court exclude Shaksper of Stratford as the true Bard;
● Why Francis Bacon is an unlikely Shakespeare authorship candidate;
● Why Edward de Vere fulfills all criteria to be the great playwright;
● And much more!

Stop blindly accepting what the textbooks say. Take a logical, analytical approach to one of history’s most important questions. Start Building the Case for Edward de Vere as Shakespeare with Volume 1: The Great Shakespeare Hoax.

Compiled of authoritative essays and compelling book excerpts, the third volume in this groundbreaking series, Shine Forth 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.

With an impressive bibliography, well-documented sources, and an unshakeable desire to unearth the truth, this volume represents an historic achievement in the scholarship of Shakespearean studies, and reopens the dialogue on this controversial subject.

The hoax survived largely unscathed until 1920 when J. Thomas Looney’s brilliant book, Shakespeare Identified, plucked Edward de Vere’s buried name out of historical obscurity and introduced him to the world as the real Shakespeare. Fighting the astonishing power of conventional wisdom, believers in the de Vere theory have steadily built their case through now hard-to-find scholarly research for the past ninety years.

The Heart of His Mystery examines Shakespeare's life and work against this background. There is strong biographical evidence that he was himself a Catholic, and a detailed survey of his plays and poems shows that his imagination was intimately bound up with his religious faith. When we realise that his human compassion grew from his membership in a persecuted community, we can glimpse the mystery he has encrypted in his works and we come closer to understanding the hidden heart of Shakespeare the man.

For centuries, we have been told William Shakespeare was the author of his famous collection of sonnets. An industry was created and thrives today to sustain and benefit from Shakespeare’s name. But what if Shakespeare was not the author of the sonnets? What if what we have been told about the sonnets is fiction, not fact?

In “Ordering” Shakespeare, author Peter J. Smith tackles the controversies surrounding the sonnets and addresses the questions of why the sonnets were originally disarranged, why they must be read in their correct sequence, and who the real authors were. Smith presents an arrangement of Shakespeare’s Sonnets and explains why this ordering is the best way in which to read them. He illuminates the lives of the men who wrote the verses, showing they were the recipients of a legacy they passed on as participants in a literary relay—the Relay of the Rose.

Smith communicates that the sonnets were conceived and written to serve the relay in order to express, preserve, and perpetuate a philosophic and spiritual way of life that will ultimately lead humankind to perfection.
