THE SHAKESPEARE ENIGMA
UNRAVELLING THE STORY OF THE TWO POETS - Peter Dawkins
'Who wrote Shakespeare?', despite centuries of theorizing, remains an unanswered question. THE SHAKESPEARE ENIGMA explores the backgrounds and stories of the 'Shakespearean' plays - and through illuminating and detailed study of each and hints they contain about the author, Peter Dawkins guides us down a fascinating trail, following clues that may have been left by the writer himself for us to uncover, centuries later.
The writer was exceptionally well-versed in law, diplomacy, music and classical literature, and widely traveled - much more so than the Stratford actor widely credited with their authorship. As his argument develops, Dawkins places the plays in their political, religious and philosophical context and comes to startling and original conclusions as to the true identity of the author of Shakespeare's works.

Reviews
- "An in-depth investigation with interesting background to the esoteric wisdom evident in Shakespeare's writings, drawn from both East and West." - Yoga and Health
- "Dawkins' study of who is the rightful author of Shakespeare's plays deserves your attention." - Cryptologia
- "The enigma of the subject is worthy of Shakespeare's genius, as he so loved to test the intuition of his imagined characters. He may well be doing so with ours." - Mark Rylance, actor and director, in his Foreword.
