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 works attributed to Shakespeare. The book delves into the historical context of the Elizabethan era, Bacon's life and career as a philosopher, writer, and politician, and the evidence that supports the theory that he wrote the plays and sonnets. Reed examines the similarities in style, themes, and language between Bacon's writings and those of Shakespeare, as well as the political and social commentary that is present in both. The book also discusses the controversy surrounding the authorship question and the various arguments for and against the Baconian theory. Overall, Francis Bacon Our Shakespeare is a thought-provoking exploration of one of the most enduring mysteries in literary history.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.
