Bacon and Shakspere

Published in 1591, 'Bacon and Shakspere' by William Henry Burr critically examines the authorship of William Shakespeare's works, arguing that Francis Bacon is the true author. Burr presents evidence such as discrepancies in Shakespeare's signatures and the absence of reliable likenesses to support his claim that Shakespeare was largely a front for Bacon's literary genius. This polemic challenges conventional literary history and invites readers to reconsider the origins of some of the greatest works in English literature.
