Présentation de l'éditeur

In the worlds literature the greatest name is Shakespeare. Equally true is the assertion that in the worlds literature there is no greater name than Bacon. Shakespeare and Bacon, if they are to be distinguished, were contemporaries ;the apparatus of scholarship, books, colleges, teachers, and all the accumulations of literary creation, which they used, were the same for both. If they stood on an equal literary level they must have c Hmbed the heights by the same paths, and at much the same time, and one would think they must have elbowed one another during the ascent. And yet neither of them refers to the other, even by the most covert allusion. Still the identical culture must assert itself whether it is acknowledged or not, and accordingly we find that the two groups of writings perpetually touch one another, and each may supply the other with innumerable lights of interpretation. Notwithstanding these cross lights of mutual reflection, the separate students of each seem resolved to keep them apart. In the elucidation of Bacon sphilosophy Shakespeare is neglected, in the interpretation of Shakespeare spoetry Bacon is neglected. If any comparison is made between them it is usually one rather of grammatical form and structure, than of interior soul and substance. At the same time it is a commonplace in Bacon biography to bracket the two names together as representing literary production equal in value, and similar in quality :though as a rule this approximation is expressed in general terms, while particular applications are rarely supplied.
