Still the best detective story ever written, and now in a clean, modern format. We’re pleased to announce the centennial edition of J. Thomas Looney’s revolutionary, paradigm changing classic: “Shakespeare Identified.” Edited by James A. Warren and published by Forever Press, this new edition lays out the full text in the first new typesetting since the 1920 U.S. edition. Most importantly for scholars, this edition identifies the sources of more than 230 passages that Looney quoted from other works, providing readers for the first time with accurate information on the books and papers he consulted in his research.
The cover re-creates the dust jacket of the original 1920 Cecil Palmer English edition and the modern layout inside is designed to enhance readers’ enjoyment as they make their way through Looney’s fascinating account of how one man, shining light from a new perspective on facts already known to Shakespeare scholars of his day, uncovered the true story of who “Shakespeare” really was and how he came to write his works.
This new edition was published on September 20, 2018 and is available for purchase on Amazon.
