Anyone who has read the essays will immediately recognise the absolute gulf existing between Shakespeare and Bacon.

Wonderful talk, very rich in detail!

I’ve been watching Shakespeare authorship videos a lot lately. It seems like there were multiple authors, de Vere, Bacon, others, like the Impressionists, hanging out, having fun inspiring each other. I’ve seen Fake or Fortune enough to realize it’s hard to tell sometimes which artist did what. Paint analysis and X-rays aren’t very helpful in the case of literature though.

Bacon is the man. Oxford, like the Stratford man, lived a life totally incommensurate with the mind in the works. Look at the compilations of parallels between the works of Bacon and Shakespeare, and the fact that the Shakespeare works demonstrate expert knowledge of the law, in Merchant alone over fifty legal terms are used precisely. Oxford enrolled in Gray's Inn but did not practice as a lawyer and was never called to the bar, it was something elites did for social contacts. Bacon on the other hand wrote the charters for the Virginia Colony and the death sentence of Sir Walter Raleigh. Oxford died too early - the Othello of 1622 is substantially revised in the 1623 First Folio, who did the revisions? Also the 1632 Folio suggests the author was alive at the time, as there are 1,700 revisions and corrections that were undertaken by an expert hand. (Yes Bacon faked his death, after James I was murdered by Buckingham and James' own son, Charles I, was complicit in the murder and coverup.) Also worth mentioning, if Bacon is the mastermind, the consequences reach far outside English departments because Bacon invented the first binary code, and until the twentieth century he was regarded as the father of modern science. So his case deserves a hearing, if only because of his other contributions. And there is so much in his favor. I have a new book out, The Precious Gem of Hidden Literature: Francis Bacon 1576-1655. wipfandstock.com/9781666738407/the-precious-gem-of-hidden-literature/

Very interesting presentation, but the suggestion that Francis Bacon not only wrote Richard II, but confessed to it in this book, is not reasonable. Go to page 36 and 49, read the full context: quod.lib.umich.edu/e/eebo/A01003.0001.001?rgn=main;view=fulltext
