The Bacon Shakespeare Question - Paperback

by C. Stopes (Author)

The Bacon Shakespeare Question is a book written by Charlotte Stopes that delves into the debate surrounding the true authorship of William Shakespeare's plays. Specifically, the book explores the theory that Francis Bacon, a renowned philosopher and statesman of the Elizabethan era, was the true author of Shakespeare's works. Stopes presents evidence and arguments for and against this theory, examining Bacon's life and work alongside the plays attributed to Shakespeare. The book also examines the historical and cultural context of the time period, as well as the various individuals and groups who have contributed to the debate over the years. Ultimately, The Bacon Shakespeare Question offers a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of one of the most enduring mysteries in literary history.1888. The author states the great Shakespearean scholars consider it beneath themselves to answer the assertions of the Baconians. Silence may be golden in defense of the living, but in regard to the dead, speech is golden when it answer speech, and proof, when it contests proof. This book is the result of two years' studies by the author. It is hoped this work may help turn the balance of opinion in some wavering minds, or to aid some Shakespeareans to reconsider this subject justly.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
