Man v' Ape in the Play of Ear-ce-Rammed

Man v' Ape in the Play of Ear-ce-Rammed

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.
