By George Greenwood and E. W. Smithson

Book Overview

The Common Knowledge of Shakespeare and Bacon by E. W. Smithson is a book that explores the similarities between the works of William Shakespeare and Sir Francis Bacon. The author delves into the common knowledge and themes that both writers shared, such as their interest in alchemy, astrology, and the occult.
