Walter Conrad Arensberg (April 4, 1878 – January 29, 1954) was an American art collector, critic and poet. His father was part owner and president of a crucible steel company. He majored in English and philosophy at Harvard University. With his wife Louise (born as Mary Louise Stevens, 1879–1953), he collected art and supported artistic endeavors. ==Early life and career== Walter Arensberg was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the oldest child of Conrad Christian Arensberg and his second wife, Flora Belle Covert. Walter's father was President and partial owner of a successful Pittsburgh crucible company. Between 1896 and 1900, Walter attended Harvard University. Following graduation, he travelled to Europe, where he spent at least two years. In 1903, he returned to Harvard, as a graduate student. He did not complete his degree, but rather moved to New York City to work as a cub reporter from 1904-1906. Arensberg's work ''The cryptography of Shakespeare'' (1922) claims to find acrostics and anagrams in the published works of Shakespeare which reveal the name of Bacon. In ''The secret grave of Francis Bacon and his mother in the Lichfield chapter house'' (1923) and ''The Shakespearean mystery'' (1928) he used a "key cipher" to find further messages connected with the Rosicrucians. Analysis by William Friedman and Elizebeth Friedman〔William and Elizebeth Friedman, ''The Shakespearean ciphers examined'', Cambridge University Press, 1957. Chapter X.〕 shows that none of the methods has cryptographic validity. Several volumes of his Symbolist-influenced verse were also published, including 1914's ''Poems'' and 1916's ''Idols''. His poem ''Voyage a l'Infini'' was anthologized by Edmund Clarence Stedman. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Walter Conrad Arensberg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
