Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bacon Is Shakespeare: Together With a Reprint of Bacon's Promus of Formularies and Elegancies
What does it matter whether the immortal works were written by Shakespeare (of Stratford) or by another man who bore (or assumed) the same name? Some twenty years ago, when this question was first propounded, it was deemed an excellent joke, and I find that there still are a great number of persons who seem unable to perceive that the question is one of considerable importance.
