Shakespeare

Just found out from this article in the London Observer newspaper that Claire Asquith has a new book on Shakespeare coming out soon and entitled Shadowplay.

Although I haven’t read it yet (added to my Amazon Wishlist hint, hint!) it seems like a fascinating read. As I understand it, the main thesis is that Shakespeare was left specific hidden codes in his works and that these codes (which Asquith claims to have deciphered) point to the fact that Shakespeare was a Catholic and was signaling to others through the means of this cipher of his works.

Not only is the surnname device in Psalm 46 but so is his first name
in verse 10. Count to the 6th and 7th words from each end of the verse
and you get “I am - will I “ or “will I - I am” read backwards. For
new evidence that Shakespeare contributed to the King James Bible,
check out this pdf on the subject at

The article is hot off the press as of November 26, 2005.

Wow! That’s great - I’m going to give this some serious attention. Great research there.

I will read the article in depth and maybe we can get some discussion going. Thanks for the heads-up.
