Extended description

Was Shakespeare a Fraud?

The authorship debate and controversy has been raging for over two centuries – with passions running very high on all sides. Many find it hard to reconcile that a glover’s son from illiterate parents, who left school at 14 and had illiterate children of his own, could have written the 37 fantastic plays and 154 beautiful sonnets attributed to his name.

Between them, these works demonstrate the author to have a vocabulary in excess of 20,000 words. They also resulted in almost 2,000 new words for the dictionary. (Read more) Was Shakespeare a Fraud?

The authorship debate and controversy has been raging for over two centuries – with passions running very high on all sides. Many find it hard to reconcile that a glover’s son from illiterate parents, who left school at 14 and had illiterate children of his own, could have written the 37 fantastic plays and 154 beautiful sonnets attributed to his name.

Between them, these works demonstrate the author to have a vocabulary in excess of 20,000 words. They also resulted in almost 2,000 new words for the dictionary.

So if Shakespeare didn’t write his plays – who did?

Over the years many names have been put forward as alternative authors with the three main contenders being Edward De Vere, Francis Bacon and Christopher Marlowe, with each school of thought pointing to circumstantial evidence supporting their respective positions. No proof has ever been found……until now.

In Padova, Northern Italy, a letter, a painting and three leather bound books are found, which together represent coded material. If decoded and released into the public domain, they would prove once and for all that Shakepeare did not write his own works. Competing interests come together in a David and Goliath struggle between passion and greed – the passion to prove Shakespeare was a fraud and the need to protect powerful, vested interests.

The Pelican Code is a modern thriller that takes you on a journey, flashing back to 1593 as it twists and turns, providing an insight into the authorship question and culminating in a climax you won’t predict.
