"Bacon is Shake-Speare" by Sir Edwin Durning-Lawrence presents a compelling argument that the works attributed to William Shakespeare were actually penned by Sir Francis Bacon. Durning-Lawrence meticulously examines the literary style, themes, and historical context of Shakespeare's plays and sonnets, suggesting that Bacon's intellectual prowess and background align more closely with the depth of the works. The book delves into the intricacies of Elizabethan literature, exploring the possibility of a hidden identity behind the celebrated playwright, and challenges the conventional narrative surrounding Shakespeare's authorship.***In this thought-provoking text, Durning-Lawrence not only advocates for Bacon's authorship but also critiques the societal and cultural factors that have led to the enduring belief in Shakespeare as the sole author. He presents a range of evidence, including parallels in writing style and philosophical ideas, to support his thesis. The book invites readers to reconsider the legacy of Shakespeare and the potential contributions of Bacon, ultimately sparking a broader discussion about authorship, identity, and the nature of literary genius.
