Publisher's Synopsis
Lord Bacon's Confession: A Statement of the Facts is a book written by William Hepworth Dixon and published in 1861. The book is a historical account of the life and work of Francis Bacon, a prominent philosopher, statesman, and essayist of the Elizabethan era. Dixon presents a controversial theory that Bacon wrote a confession in which he admitted to being the author of Shakespeare's plays. The book explores the evidence and arguments for and against this theory, and provides a detailed analysis of Bacon's life, including his childhood, education, political career, and literary works. The author also examines the influence of Bacon's philosophy on modern thought and society. The book is a fascinating exploration of one of the most enigmatic figures in English history, and a must-read for anyone interested in the life and work of Francis Bacon.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
