Bacon And Shakespeare In The Sonnets (1887)

By Hezekiah Lord Hosmer

Book Overview

Bacon and Shakespeare in the Sonnets is a book written by Hezekiah Lord Hosmer and published in 1887. The book explores the controversial theory that the famous English playwright William Shakespeare did not actually write the sonnets attributed to him, but rather they were written by Sir Francis Bacon. Hosmer delves into the language, style, and themes of the sonnets to support his argument, examining the evidence and presenting his case in a clear and concise manner. The book also provides a historical context for the debate, discussing the relationship between Bacon and Shakespeare and the literary scene in Elizabethan England. Despite the controversy surrounding the theory, Bacon and Shakespeare in the Sonnets remains a significant work in the ongoing discussion of Shakespearean authorship.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
