Synopsis

A 400-year-old cypher--unlocked. An epic Elizabethan love story--uncovered. Many have suggested that the name Shakespeare was a mask concealing the identity of a hidden poet, but nothing has ever been proved. Until now. In THE DE VERE CODE, one of the most dazzling encryptions in the history of secret writing is decyphered, conclusively establishing the true author of SHAKE-SPEARES SONNETS. After four centuries shrouded in mystery, this remarkable new evidence also reveals the identity of sonnets' inspirer -- the Fair Youth -- and explains the circumstances surrounding the publication of the most famous love poems ever written. If you thought you knew Shakespeare -- think again.

About the Author

Jonathan Bond hails from the town of Saltburn on the north-east coast of England. He studied philosophy and mathematical logic at University College London and Jesus College, Cambridge, and acting at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. He was a member of the original company in the opening season of the reconstructed Globe theatre in London in 1997, and has subsequently returned to the Globe to appear in As You Like It, Timon of Athens and A Midsummer Night's Dream. He lives in London with his family, and THE DE VERE CODE is his first book.

From the Inside Flap

In THE DE VERE CODE, conclusive proof is presented for the first time, that the true author of SHAKE-SPEARES SONNETS is revealed in an astonishing cypher hidden in the dedication to these intensely personal poems, first published 400 years ago.

In addition to this groundbreaking revelation, the true history of the sonnets is uncovered, involving key figures at the Court of Queen Elizabeth I, bitter rivalries between the greatest poets of the age, and the hidden and forbidden love that inspired the poetic genius behind the name of Shakespeare.

It is no understatement to say that this extraordinary investigation will change the way Shakespeare is perceived by all who have an interest in the greatest creative works in the English language.
