Publisher's Synopsis
Notes On The Bacon-Shakespeare Question is a book written by Charles Allen and published in 1900. The book is a comprehensive analysis of the debate surrounding the authorship of William Shakespeare's plays. The author explores the theory that Francis Bacon was the true author of Shakespeare's works, and provides evidence and arguments both for and against the theory. The book is divided into several sections, each of which examines a different aspect of the debate. The author begins by providing a brief history of the Bacon-Shakespeare controversy, and then delves into the various arguments put forth by proponents of the theory. He examines the similarities and differences between Bacon's writing and that of Shakespeare, and also explores the political and social context in which the plays were written.Throughout the book, the author presents a balanced and objective analysis of the evidence, and does not take a definitive stance on the question of authorship. Instead, he encourages readers to consider the evidence and arguments for themselves, and to form their own conclusions.Overall, Notes On The Bacon-Shakespeare Question is a thorough and thoughtful exploration of one of the most enduring debates in literary history. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the Shakespeare authorship question, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of Elizabethan literature and politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
