Description
An unusual contribution to the Bacon-Shakespeare controversy, Man v’ Ape is, with great license, a copiously annotated edition of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Samuels uses numeric, symbolic, linguistic, and Biblical interpretations to posit that Francis Bacon (a contemporary of Shakespeare and Samuels’ presumed ‘true’ author of Hamlet) had predicted the coming of Samuels as the reincarnated Jehovah in order to lead the Jewish people into an independent state in Palestine.
