The author of “Shakespeare Suppressed: The Uncensored Truth about Shakespeare and his Works” speaks out in a new SOF Interview.
Scholar Katherine Chiljan has been pursuing the authorship question for more than 30 years. A high school teacher whom she admired suggested one day that the works of “Shakespeare” may actually have been written by someone called
“Marlowe.” Remembering this, she later watched the authorship debate between Charlton Ogburn, Jr. and an English professor on Firing Line. Katherine, a lover of history, started reading everything she could. In a significant observation after many years of research, she realized the bulk of evidence for the Stratford Man was posthumous, and that if you discarded that, how strongly a case for the Earl of Oxford could be made.
She spent seven years researching her important work, “Shakespeare Suppressed: The Uncensored Truth about Shakespeare and his Works.” She has created a website, https://shakespearesuppressed.com/, that provides valuable information about her ongoing work and publications. She also relates in the interview how she came upon an Elizabethan portrait very much like other portraits of Oxford, and pursued the owners until she was able to obtain it. The provenance of the painting strongly links it to families associated with de Vere.
