Description

The Bacon-Shakespeare Question Answered is a book written by Charlotte Carmichael Stopes and published in 1889. The book attempts to provide a comprehensive answer to the question of whether Francis Bacon was the true author of the works attributed to William Shakespeare. Stopes argues that Bacon's life and writings provide evidence that he was the true author of the plays and sonnets commonly attributed to Shakespeare. She also examines the historical context in which the works were written and the political and social influences that may have played a role in their creation. The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of the Bacon-Shakespeare controversy. Stopes provides detailed analysis of Bacon's writing style, his use of language and symbolism, and his philosophical and political beliefs. She also examines the evidence for and against Bacon's authorship of the works, including contemporary accounts, literary analysis, and historical context. Overall, The Bacon-Shakespeare Question Answered is a comprehensive and detailed exploration of one of the most enduring controversies in literary history. Stopes provides a compelling argument in favor of Bacon's authorship and offers insights into the creative process and cultural context that shaped the works of the Elizabethan era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
