Subtle Shining Secrecies by William Stone Booth
Subtle Shining Secrecies Writ In The Margents of Books Generally Ascribed to William Shakespeare, The Actor and Here Ascribed to William Shakespeare, The Poet. William Stone Booth. As an author his favourite field was the literature and drama of the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods, especially the plays of Shakespeare and their authorship. On this subject he wrote Some Acrostic Signatures of Francis Bacon (1909), The Hidden Signatures of Francesco Colonna and Francis Bacon (1910); The Droeshout Portrait of William Shakespeare, an Experiment in Identification, (1911); Marginal Acrostics and Other Alphabetical Devices, a Catalogue (1920) and Subtle Shining Secrecies, Writ in the Margents of Books (1925). In these works he submitted new evidence and arguments on the Bacon-Shakespeare controversy, but his exhaustive knowledge and judgment prevented his espousal of the opinions of the extremists on either side. In his last-named book, dedicated "To the Inquisition of Truth," he drew the conclusion that the great plays were written not by Shakespeare the Actor, but by Shakespeare the Poet, the pen-name of Francis Bacon.
