REVIEWS

“Marvelous and revolutionary. I read it with awe and reverence and a feeling of real excitement in my guts”
(Vicky McMahon, Drama Department University of Winnipeg).

“Controversial and provocative, this well researched and wide ranging book establishes a legitimate new area for scholarship”
(Dr. Catherine Alexander, editor Cambridge Shakespeare Library & Fellow, The Shakespeare Institute, University of Birmingham, Stratford-Upon-Avon).

"Over 15 years of directing Shakespeare's plays, I have long held that they contained multiple layers. John Hudson's amazing research on their deepest layer of meaning has confirmed this. If analyzed objectively, most of his conclusions will be hard to dispute.."
(Melody Brooks, Drama Department, Long Island University, & Artistic Director, New Perspectives Theatre Company).

“Meticulously weaves the loose threads from centuries of speculation into a tapestry with a message that, once seen, is hard to deny: Amelia Bassano was Shakespeare”
(Christopher Dippel, Drama Department, Hofstra University).
