Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book compiles and correlates a series of articles on controversial aspects of Shakespearean literary history and provides new perspectives on the life and work of Francis Bacon. The author investigates the context of "The Felicities of Elizabeth." and presents previously unearthed details on Bacon's illegitimate birth. The book suggests that the names of the true parents of Francis Bacon were deliberately concealed over time, whilst also providing evidence to demonstrate that Edmund Spencer was a literary front for Francis Bacon's poetry, and challenging the accepted authorship of some of the plays attributed to Shakespeare. This fascinating text will appeal to enthusiasts of Elizabethan history, and to anyone curious about the speculative world surrounding the life of one of England's greatest literary figures.
