Shakespeare was written by Sir Francis Bacon

[@vnekliaev]

I don't know what I enjoyed more: the lucid and brilliant presentation or just looking at these most accomplished persons. If such people still exist, then, perhaps, there is hope for our Western culture. I am a Marlovian, by the way.

I loved learning about expert Elizabethan literature comparisons. I really enjoyed your brilliant presentation. Constance Potts is stunning in her analysis. I now admire her work very much.

Industry and humility together -- a rare combination! Eye opener, thanks.

[@ducdejoyeuse]

Thank you, in The Promus is a load of gold nuggets with a diamond hidden, Francis says," To win the game ; Tick, tack, begin the game with Irish." Well the first play though even written last is The Tempest, the first character to appear is Miranda, well in Irish Mir-Anfa, means " Portion of the Storm," and she witnesses a portion of the storm.

Makes deep sense to me after wide reading (esp Francis Bacon's output) and listening to solid researchers especially Peter Dawkins, along with many online presentations. Wm Shaksper, the actor, was in cohoots with playwrights and publishers of his era along with others in grubby business and politics and in keeping one's head - no matter who one was or what they were said to have done. Scary. That's why deep knowledge and knowing, solid and honest intellectual endeavour and research capability is vital to penetrating political and historical contrivance and record. Francis and several others of his circle employed WS to be 'Shakespeare' in name but not in deed. WS tried to get around that and was lampooned by some who knew he tried to be the author of that which he 'bought' and tried to pass off as his own. Typical! Look at today's times and all those in across any board of endeavour who have others write their stuff and all the rest of it. Francis Bacon was and is 'Shakespeare/Shake-speare'. Albeit one or two other high rankers who had some talent, scholastic ability along with high breeding can be proffered as the author, but all fall down in the face of rigorous, sensitive, discerning research and scholarship across various disciplines. 'Plus Ultra' indeed.

JUST Like our present day MSM Newscasters, used to put forth their message, fear gets the most attention, meaning larger profits. Many, in all walks of life, rich or poor, bond or free, would sell their own soul, for profit. Why is this? They love money, riches, sin, corruption more than they love God. By the fruit a tree is known.

Fabulous presentation girls ! !...2023 is upon us, 400 years have elapsed, is there knowledge of when within the year, 1623,of the exact date the Great Works were released ?I'm sure Mrs Pots knew ! !

[@theostapel]

Thank you for this research - amongst more, of the same - from others. Came to this debate - this year '23 - due to foot surgery and one's temporary immobility. Have worked hard - honing up - with Master Bacon (this special person) and also - the Shakespeare question. Brilliant, interesting and joyful research. Conclusion: Master Bacon is Shakespeare and so much more. To quote Jono Freeman: Bacon is 'A superb soul'. The whole team has produced - a deserved fait accompli ! One goes on - mind opened and heart soaring. Whistling ... Beethoven's 'Freude, schöner Götterfunken ... ' or, on occasion - Bach: 'Wachet auf !'. Hee hee.

I'm astonished that no one ever suggests that Bacon was also Marlowe. It is clear that the Bacon brothers were on the continent, spying, double shifting to thwart the Catholics. If Bacon is the son of Elizabeth, secretly being the ultimate rock star, Marlowe's diabolical trajectory seems to fit the character of a prince with a massive chip on his shoulder. And of course Francis couldn't face trial, as Marlowe....so Chris had to be offed, so to speak. Thence rises the great 'Bard'

[@zantlozantlom4752]

And quite learned, too.

[@betttrbeth]

Excellent introduction to a fascinating person.

[@davidj.lebaron709]

Somewhere in Virginia, repose 24 lead sealed brass cylinders, containing Francis Bacon"s Works and Plays. Their acquisition will settle the controversy once and for all!

[@jimmyjohnston8287]

Well done.

[@ExxylcrothEagle]

But thank you for posting this. I enjoyed the presentation

[@davidj.lebaron709]

Francis Bacon had a grandson who needed a home where there would be little to no chance of him being murdered by rivals for the throne of England. When he was of age he came to America in 1690, as ship's surgeon, on a French Privateer. God only knows how many descendants Bacon has in America?!

[@EndoftheTownProductions]

John Heminges, Henry Condell, and Richard Burbage, three actors of The Lord Chamberlain's Men, a famous acting company that included William Shakespeare, were given money by William Shakespeare of Stratford in his Last Will and Testament in 1616. Two of these actors, John Heminges and Henry Condell, were responsible for having 36 of Shakespeare's plays published in the First Folio in 1623.

Google and MI5 - such edifying institutions!

[@onefeather2]

Well done

[@davidj.lebaron709]

It's most clear to me, that my education has been mostly neglected. I wonder just how much time has been allocated to me? Whatever the amount, I shall dedicate a healthy portion of it to this mystery. I have an old copy of Mark Twain's: Is Shakespeare Dead Yet? We of the LeBaron Clan, have a strange tradition, of just how our ancestors acquired our last name, and from exactly whose grandson? Personally, I believe that Sir Francis Bacon did write the Shakespeare Plays!

[@romanschapter6513]

Francis Bacon/Shakespeare is King Henry 8's grandson

[@romanschapter6513]

Shakespeare is Queen Elizabeth I son, therefore grandson of King Henry 8th

Anon anon Francis. The writer of the Sonnets was named De Vere. i.imgur.com/T2zFvwn.jpg
