Secret Shakespearean Seals

About this book

Did Shakespeare leave a secret signature in patterns, seals and coded symbols? This Rosicrucian study approaches the playwright through the long tradition of hidden-authorship speculation.

The authors look for esoteric meanings behind literary and historical details, treating apparent clues as traces of concealed initiation. Such arguments sit outside accepted Shakespeare scholarship, but they reveal the imaginative force of the Baconian and Rosicrucian controversies. The book belongs to a world in which the smallest mark on a page could be offered as evidence of an enormous secret.
