""Ben Jonson and Francis Bacon"" is a book written by a Cambridge graduate that explores the relationship between two prominent figures in English literature and history. Ben Jonson was a playwright and poet who was a contemporary of William Shakespeare, while Francis Bacon was a philosopher, statesman, and scientist who is considered one of the founders of the scientific method. The book delves into their shared interests in language, rhetoric, and the pursuit of knowledge, as well as their personal relationship and the influence they had on each other's work. It also examines the political and cultural context of their time, including the reign of King James I and the emergence of the English Renaissance. Through a thorough analysis of their writings and correspondence, the author aims to shed light on the complex and fascinating relationship between two of the most important figures of their era.THIS 32 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Is It Shakespeare?, by A Cambridge Graduate .
