Shakespeare Studies in Baconian Light (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162586229)

Shakespeare Studies in Baconian Light is a book written by Robert M. Theobald that explores the theory that Francis Bacon was the true author of Shakespeare's works. The book examines the similarities between Bacon's writing and Shakespeare's plays, as well as historical evidence that suggests Bacon may have been involved in the creation of the plays. Theobald argues that Bacon's knowledge and expertise in law, science, and philosophy are reflected in the themes and language used in Shakespeare's works. The book also delves into the controversy surrounding the authorship of Shakespeare's plays and the various theories that have been proposed over the years. Overall, Shakespeare Studies in Baconian Light offers a unique perspective on the authorship debate and sheds new light on the works of Shakespeare.1901. The author attempts to persuade that Francis Bacon is the true Shakespeare by using evidence from criticisms of both Shakespeare's work and that of Bacon, as well as historical knowledge of the Elizabethan time period. The author also draws intelligent comparisons between the stylistic qualities of both playwrights, as well as coming to philosophical conclusions concerning the matter.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
