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 delves into the theory that Francis Bacon, an English philosopher, statesman, and scientist, was the true author of the works attributed to William Shakespeare. James presents evidence to support his claim, including similarities in writing style, vocabulary, and themes between Bacon's works and those of Shakespeare. He also explores the political and social climate of the time, suggesting that Bacon may have used the pseudonym of Shakespeare to protect himself from criticism and persecution. The book is a fascinating exploration of a controversial topic in literary history and provides a compelling argument for the true identity of the author behind some of the world's most famous plays and sonnets.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
