Publisher's Synopsis
The Authorship Of Shakespeare: And An Examination Of The Claim Made That Francis Bacon Wrote The Shakespeare Works is a book written by Orlando Mack Barnes and published in 1895. The book explores the debate surrounding the true authorship of William Shakespeare's works, and specifically examines the claim made by some that Francis Bacon was the true author. Barnes provides a detailed analysis of the evidence for and against Bacon's authorship, drawing on historical documents, literary analysis, and other sources. He also explores the cultural and political context of the time, and considers the motivations and biases of those who have argued for and against Bacon's authorship. Throughout the book, Barnes presents a balanced and thorough examination of the evidence, and ultimately concludes that there is no conclusive proof that Bacon was the true author of Shakespeare's works. He argues that while there are certainly similarities between Bacon's writing and Shakespeare's, there are also significant differences, and that the weight of the evidence supports the traditional attribution of the works to Shakespeare himself. Overall, The Authorship Of Shakespeare provides a fascinating and comprehensive look at one of the most enduring debates in literary history, and offers valuable insights into the nature of authorship, creativity, and cultural identity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
