Welcome to my https://masteroftheceremonies.wordpress.com/ Blog!
For four hundred years the world has believed that the actor William Shakespeare was the greatest writer that has ever lived.
The world was wrong.
William Corbett’s new book uncovers the secret authorship of the plays attributed to William Shakespeare and the Catholic message encoded within their pages.
“When I came across the phrase ‘the stings and terrors of a guilty conscience’ in an anonymous treatise from 1595 I couldn’t help noticing the echo of Hamlet’s famous ‘to be or not to be’ speech with the line ‘the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune’. Not something you come across everyday, but when I discovered that the man who wrote it is cited again and again by different scholars as a major source for the plays, an examination of his life was called for, which revealed him in a sequence of unique places, places only the author could have been.”
Lewes had lost his left arm and was forced to plead to the Queen for a passport to return to England. This is where the story gets murky – he was welcomed back in exchange for information about the Catholic forces and he duly obliged. From that point on we see him rising steadily at court working as a translator to Elizabeth I. Under the patronage of the Queen’s best friend, the Countess of Warwick, Lewes produced a translation of the great work on Venice which was the basis for several plays – Othello, The Merchant of Venice and Volpone. In 1603, James VI of Scotland succeeded to the English throne and elevated Lewes to a key diplomatic position, the Master of the Ceremonies.I will post regular updates in my research here, so anyone who has read The Master of the Ceremonies will be able to keep up to date with new developments and explore each chapter of the book more thoroughly.
Let’s discover the truth together.
