Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's Tempest in Baconian Light: A New Theory When some years ago, I undertook to read Shakespeare's "Tempest" in one of the higher classes of our school, my pupils, I venture to say, greatly enjoyed the play as an unparalleled romantic drama. They were brought to admire, and in some degree, to appreciate the work.

How must we interpret: Sycorax was grown into a hoop? - For one thing she did? - How must we explain the part of Prospero? - How the Epilogue? etc. etc." - Beset by these, and a host of similar questions, I was induced to consult some other books, such as were at hand at the library of the Heidelberg University, e. g.

When some years ago, I undertook to read Shakespeare's "Tempest" in one of the higher classes of our school, my pupils, I venture to say, greatly enjoyed the play as an unparalleled romantic drama. They were brought to admire, and in some degree, to appreciate the work. I myself, however, while making use of the editions commented upon by Delius, and Hamann, and after consulting Gervinus, Clemens, Roden, etc., was more and more plunged into a chaos of doubts as to the purport and bearing of the play itself. "Why was the 'Tempest' placed at the head of the plays in the Great Folio? - How must we interpret: Sycorax was grown into a hoop? - For one thing she did? - How must we explain the part of Prospero? - How the Epilogue? etc. etc." - Beset by these, and a host of similar questions, I was induced to consult some other books, such as were at hand at the library of the Heidelberg University, e. g. Ignatius Donnelly: The Great Cryptogram; Vitzthum von Eckstaedt: Shakespeare and Shakspere; Edwin Bormann: das Shakespeare-Geheimnis; Kuno Fischer: Shakespeare und die Bacon-Mythen etc. Being, however, precipitated into an abyss of uncertainty, by the study of these books, I finally dropped the matter altogether, mainly because for some years succeeding I was suffering from ill health. Having recovered from illness, and looking out for some other books at our library, during the last Christmas holidays, I came across some recent books about Shakespeare, especially the "New Variorum Edition of the Tempest", by Horace Edward Furness; Bacon and Shakespeare Parallelisms, by Edwin Reed, and others; and so powerful was the attraction of these books that I made up my mind for another attempt. While reading again in class, and enjoying more than ever, the fascinating scenes of the "Tempest", owing to the new light being thrown on them from the new selection of reference-books, I could not, in spite of all these helps, come to a clear insight into the "main question", which was nowhere broached by Furness, viz. the much disputed problem about the personality of the poet. In vain struggling for light upon that mysterious question, which seemed to me paramount for a thorough and truly scientific interpretation of the play, I resolved to make a last effort, by consulting the works of Sir Francis Bacon themselves (collected and edited by Spedding, Ellis, and Heath; in fourteen volumes). The result of this investigation, as set forth in this essay, which I now submit to the impartial criticism of the reader, was surprising indeed. In calling the "Tempest" a dramatization of the "Instauratio Magna", I do not merely mean the work published, by Bacon in 1620 (a copy of the frontispiece of which is reproduced in this essay), but in that general title I include the whole of the prose work of Bacon, from the Partus Temporis Maximus (1585), to the New Atlantis and Sylva Sylvarum, both of them published after Sir Francis' death. I frankly admit that the "Tempest", viewed in this Baconian light, no longer offers a suitable reading matter for all our schools. I further humbly submit that this essay pretends to be no more than the first attempt at a broad inquiry into the identity of ideas, as laid down in the "Tempest", and positively found in the prose work of Bacon.

This book was released on 2023-02-08 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This short book gathers together and documents a number of incontrovertible but little-noticed facts that speak Shakespeare's true name loudly and clearly. Written for general readers and scholars alike, it systematizes and extends the investigations of the pioneering researchers who first published, more than a century ago, the provocative contention that Shakespeare's THE TEMPEST contains an allegory of Francis Bacon's natural philosophy. The essay demonstrates that fourteen elements of this play having to do with the magus Prospero, the spirit Ariel, and the witch Sycorax resemble and represent fourteen Baconian ideas, several of which are peculiar to Bacon. Those ideas include not only the general methodological prescriptions for which he is famous but also his unique and largely forgotten conjectures about the inner workings of nature. These numerous and striking parallels between elements of the play and elements of Bacon's philosophy, the author argues, together constitute persuasive proof that Bacon wrote this celebrated drama.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's the Tempest In presenting this volume to the public it was the author's intention to supply all lovers of the (socalled) Shake-speare plays with an edition of the "Tempest," corrected and annotated from the viewpoint of Francis Bacon as its author. Mr. Reeds knowledge of the classics and his years of deep and exhaustless research into those wells whence the "greatest poet of any day" drew his inspiration are here proven. Had he lived, this eminent Baconian proposed to edit all the plays in a similar manner. His death unhappily devolves this duty upon other shoulders, which, let it be hoped, will bend to the labors speedily and with joy. So far as Mr. Reed or any fair-minded judge is concerned, all controversy over the authorship of the "Tempest" is already closed. The time-worn belief that Wm. Shakspere wrote the plays has led commentators and editors into mistakes such as always result from a wrong premise. Unable to account for certain words, they have either changed them to accord with their own sense of the meaning, or pointed out in foot-notes that the author was astray. Whoever compares the later editions of Shake-speare to the first folio can see at once how the commentators wilfully or through ignorance here put us at the mercy of twisted phrases and false derivations. This is still further illustrated in Mr. Reed's edition of "Julius Cæsar" (yet unpublished.) That any careful poet or compiler - and the folio shows a rigid care for details - should allow not one but a score of errors to go down to posterity, is absurd. That subsequent editors let these stand without a question is incredible! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Greatest of Literary Problems: The Authorship of the Shakespeare Works; An Exposition of All Points at Issue, From Their Inception to the Present Moment God does not ordain the vilest among men to be his messen gers of peace and enlightenment to mankind - and, certainly, the men to whom our pretentious guides have introduced us were among the vilest of their kind. No wonder the world is awakening to the necessity of a higher criticism than that with which it has hitherto been cloyed, and turning to one incomparable genius, who, voicing the primal strains of the Renaissance in Tudor England, bore them on with ever swelling majesty to the close of the grand symphony which ended with his life. This great genius I hope to Show was Francis Bacon, Baron Verulam, Viscount St. Albans. Time was when I should have dismissed this thesis with impatience, but I am hoping that my readers will weigh the evidence I adduce before condemning me as a mere theorist.
