Dr. Jean Jofen has a Ph. D. in Languages and Literature from Columbia University and is a certified psychologist.

During the last 20 years, she has been working on the Shakespearean opus. Her theory is that three people were involved in it, all three belonging to forbidden religions in England: Christopher Marlowe --- whose mother she believed was a Marrano Jew, Francis Bacon --- whose mother was a Calvinist, and the Earl of
Oxford --- whose father was a Catholic. These three religions were forbidden in Elizabethan England.
