THE SHAKESPEARE ENIGMA  by Peter Dawkins  special advisor to Londons Shakespeares Globe theatre  is such a book. The writer of Shakespeares plays and sonnets was a man of his time  deeply immersed in the religious and political struggles of the day  exceptionally well-versed in law  diplomacy  music and classical literature  and he was also widely traveled - much more so than the Stratford actor widely credited with their authorship today. Through his illuminating and detailed study of the plays and hints they contain about the author  Peter Dawkins guides us down a fascinating trail  following clues that may have been left by the writer himself for us to uncover  centuries later. A whole new perspective on the plays emerges. As his argument develops  Peter Dawkins places them very firmly in their political  religious and philosophical context and out of that new understanding he comes to startling and original conclusions as to the true identity of the author of Shakespeares works. Like any good investigation  this book is compendious in its presentation of evidence and copiously illustrated. It will appeal to all literary-minded people  those interested in esoteric wisdom  and anyone involved in arts education. THE SHAKESPEARE ENIGMA also ties in well with modern attempts to understand how Elizabethans and Jacobeans regarded theatre  through such projects as Shakespeares Globe on Londons South Bank.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44944907337781,"sku":"ByrdShop_0954538943","price":66.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780954538941.jpg?v=1769860151","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-shakespeare-enigma-unravelling-the-story-of-the-two-poets","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
