The De Vere Code: Proof of the true author of SHAKE-SPEARE'S SONNETS
“Wonderfully articulate and engaging... His discoveries and conclusions regarding the authorship question are compelling... a pleasure to read”.
Mark Rylance, actor and former Artistic Director, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre
“Hats off to Jonathan Bond! This is an absorbing, beautifully crafted work, which provides what no other book on Shakespeare has provided: proof of the authorship of that most mysterious volume, Shake-speares Sonnets”
Charles Beauclerk, Earl of Burford, heir of the family of Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford
A 400-year-old cypher—unlocked. An epic Elizabethan love story—uncovered.
Many have suggested that the name SHAKE-SPEARE was a mask concealing the identity of a hidden poet, but nothing has ever been proved. Until now.
In this extraordinary book, one of the most dazzling encryptions in the history of secret writing is deciphered, conclusively establishing the true author of
SHAKE-SPEARE’S SONNETS.
It is no understatement to say that this book may cause a fundamental change in the way Shake-speare is perceived by all who have an interest in the greatest creative works in the English language. Over the past hundred years, an increasingly insistent argument has been made that the plays and poems published by Shakespeare could not have been written by the Stratford glover’s son, William Shaksper. All that has been missing is proof.
In THE DE VERE CODE, the author presents that proof—never before imprinted—that the author of SHAKE-SPEARES SONNETS was revealed in an astonishing cypher concealed in the dedication to these beautiful poems, first published 400 years ago in 1609.
After four centuries shrouded in mystery, this remarkable new evidence also proves 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.

Trying to Tell His Story
Perhaps not straight foreward, but certainly well thought through. Certainly the cyphers caused Bond some headaches, but the end result, his crafty thinking, and his quite plausible conclusion may have brought this identity debate closer to a resolution. Probably not. But Bond’s thinking will certainly withstand the arguments of most Stratfordians and offer food for thought for others.

A MUST READ FOR ALL OXFORD DEVERE BELIEVERS
Jonathan Bond writes a well researched book presenting irrefutable evidence that Edward DeVere is the author of the Shakespeare Sonnets. With this evidence the case for Edward as the real Shakespeare is bolstered.

Cyphers
Speculative arguments, confirmation requires faith, but insightful and entertaining nonetheless. The Bard of "Avon" - or Stratford - needs to be put to rest, such a hopeless case, but the mystery of authorship will remain. If nothing else these studies have stimulated a late inning re-reading of the canon and era history
