Francis Bacon: The Concealed Poet (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162970493)

Francis Bacon: The Concealed Poet is a book written by Manly Palmer Hall that explores the lesser-known poetic side of the famous philosopher and statesman, Francis Bacon. The book delves into the idea that Bacon's poetic works were intentionally hidden and suppressed due to their controversial nature and potential impact on society. Hall argues that Bacon's poetry was a reflection of his philosophical and spiritual beliefs, which were considered heretical during his time. He also examines the symbolism and allegorical themes present in Bacon's poetry, suggesting that they hold deeper meanings and insights into his philosophical and mystical teachings. Throughout the book, Hall provides a detailed analysis of Bacon's poetic works, including his sonnets and other lesser-known pieces. He also explores the historical and cultural context in which Bacon lived and wrote, shedding light on the political and religious turmoil of the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras. Overall, Francis Bacon: The Concealed Poet offers a unique perspective on the life and works of one of the most influential figures in Western intellectual history. It presents a compelling argument for the importance of Bacon's poetry and its relevance to contemporary philosophical and spiritual discourse.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
