Francis Bacon: The Author Of Shakespeare (1893)

By George James

Book Overview

Francis Bacon: The Author Of Shakespeare is a book written by George James and published in 1893. The book presents the theory that Francis Bacon, a philosopher, statesman, and scientist of the Elizabethan era, was the true author of the works attributed to William Shakespeare. James argues that Bacon's extensive knowledge of science, philosophy, and politics is reflected in the themes and language of Shakespeare's plays and sonnets. He also provides evidence from Bacon's own writings and contemporary accounts of his life to support his claim. The book is a controversial and influential work in the ongoing debate over the true identity of Shakespeare.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
