Francis Bacon Our Shakespeare (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781564591364)

""Francis Bacon Our Shakespeare"" by Edwin Reed is a book that explores the theory that Francis Bacon, rather than William Shakespeare, was the true author of the plays and poems attributed to Shakespeare. The book delves into the historical context of the time period, examining Bacon's life and work as well as Shakespeare's. Reed presents evidence and arguments to support his theory, including linguistic analysis and comparisons of the writing styles of both Bacon and Shakespeare. The book also discusses the controversy surrounding the authorship question and the impact it has had on literary scholarship and popular culture. Overall, ""Francis Bacon Our Shakespeare"" is a thought-provoking investigation into one of the most enduring mysteries of English literature.Coincidences; The Early Authorship of Shake-Speare; The Late Authorship of Shake-Speare; The Place of the Shake-Speare Dramas in Bacon's System of Philosophy; The Classical Element in the Plays; Johnson's Masque, �������Time Vindicated;������� Bacon's Poetic Gifts; Origin of the Pseudonym Shake-Speare.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
