Shakespeare-Bacon: An Essay (1899)

By Edward Walter Smithson

Book Overview

Shakespeare-Bacon: An Essay is a book written by Edward Walter Smithson in 1899. The book examines the long-standing debate about the true authorship of William Shakespeare's plays and proposes that Francis Bacon, a philosopher, scientist, and statesman of the Elizabethan era, may have been the real author of Shakespeare's works. Smithson presents evidence and arguments to support this theory, including similarities in style and content between Bacon's writings and Shakespeare's plays, as well as historical and biographical information that suggests Bacon had the necessary knowledge and experience to write the plays. The book is a thorough and detailed exploration of the Shakespeare authorship question and offers a unique perspective on the topic.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
