""An Introduction to Bacon Cryptograms in Shakespeare"" by Isaac Hull Platt is a book that explores the theory that Francis Bacon, not William Shakespeare, was the true author of the plays attributed to Shakespeare. The book delves into the use of cryptograms, or hidden messages, in Bacon's writing and how they may have been used in the Shakespearean plays. Platt provides a detailed analysis of specific passages from the plays and how they relate to Bacon's writing, as well as discussing the historical context and political climate of the time that may have influenced Bacon's decision to conceal his authorship. The book is intended for readers interested in literary theory, cryptography, and the Shakespeare authorship debate.THIS 20 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Bacon Cryptograms in Shake-Speare and Other Studies, by Isaac Hull Platt.
