Publisher's Synopsis
""Is There Any Resemblance Between Shakespeare and Bacon?"" is a book written by Charles F. Steele that explores the long-standing debate about whether William Shakespeare was the true author of the plays and sonnets that bear his name or if they were actually written by Francis Bacon. Steele delves into the evidence and arguments put forth by both sides of the debate, examining the linguistic and stylistic similarities and differences between the works of Shakespeare and Bacon. He also considers the historical and cultural context in which the works were written, as well as the personal lives and experiences of both men. Ultimately, Steele presents his own conclusions about the question of authorship and offers insights into the ongoing fascination with this enduring mystery of literary history.1888. This book was not written with the expectation of changing the attitude of those who desire to dethrone Shakespeare and put Bacon in his place, nor was it expected to interest anyone who believes this subject does not merit serious thought. The aim of this volume is to present such points as appeal to reason and common sense. The facts are convincing to unpartisan judgment and need very little argument to emphasize their force.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
