The Bacon-Shakespeare Question Answered (1889)

The Bacon-Shakespeare Question Answered is a book written by Charlotte Carmichael Stopes and published in 1889. The book delves into the debate surrounding the authorship of William Shakespeare's plays, which has been a topic of controversy for centuries. Stopes argues against the theory that the plays were actually written by Francis Bacon, a prominent philosopher and statesman of the time. She presents evidence to support the idea that Shakespeare was indeed the true author of the plays, including historical records and the stylistic and thematic elements present in the works. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the debate. Stopes also includes a detailed bibliography and references to other works on the topic. Overall, The Bacon-Shakespeare Question Answered is a comprehensive and well-researched examination of one of the most enduring mysteries in English literature. It offers a compelling argument in favor of Shakespeare's authorship and sheds light on the complex historical and literary context in which the plays were written.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
