The Secret Love Story in Shakespeare's Sonnets

Rumors in London in 1573 said that Queen Elizabeth the First was having a love affair with her favorite court playwright, Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford. They had a love-child being raised as the Third Earl of Southampton, Henry Wriothesley. To protect the image of the Virgin Queen and his natural son, Lord Oxford began to use the pen name of "William Shakespeare" in 1593. The mysterious Dedication to "Shake-speare's Sonnets" published in 1609 uses Rosicrucian and Freemason secret symbols and ciphers to tell this beautiful love story. Although the sonnets were placed in scrambled order to outwit the censors, matches the events of the life of Edward de Vere. This book solves the riddle of the Dedication and discloses the identities of the Dark Lady, the Rival Poet, and the Fair Youth (Third Earl of Southampton).
