Features
32 Bard Wars (Cover Story)
Did William Shakespeare really write the works ascribed to him? If so, why does each year bring new claimants and fresh doubts over his authorship? Jerry Glover surveys recent developments in the controversy over the true identity of the world's most famous writer... about whom so little is known.
38 Eureka!
Barry Baldwin recounts the story of the Eureka machine, a bizarre Victorian computer that composed Latin verses at the crank of a handle, and wonders if this Heath Robinson contraption was an inspiration for Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four.
46 Forteana and the Jewish Shaman-Prophets
The books known to Christians as the Old Testament derive from the Hebrew Bible, of Tanakh, and are a rich source of signs and wonders. From his studies of the primary texts, Richard Seary reveals the extent of fortean references in the ancient Hebrew scriptures, knowledge of which was suppressed by various translators.
