Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sir Francis Bacon: Poet Philosopher Statesman Lawyer Wit Mr. James Spedding, in addition to editing the philosophical works of the Francis Bacon, devoted years to the examination of Bacon´s letters and unprinted pamphlets with a view to obtaining all the light available upon Bacon´s career as a philosopher. To that general object he remained faithful. So that the "Life and Letters of Bacon" which Mr. Spedding printed in several most valuable volumes were not studied from the other points of view of Bacon as a man of the world in peculiar relationship with Queen Elizabeth or as a "concealed poet." Francis Bacon´s fame was unfortunate in the fact that his great biographer reviewed it so long ago instead of to-day, when so much additional information has been unearthed from concealment. Conscious of the little he really knew, Mr. Spedding became alarmed at the position of authority concerning Francis Bacon with which he was credited. But he had become a pundit in spite of himself, and although later in life he found that Bacon had the habit of mind which constitutes the making of a poet, his (Spedding´s) declaration about the Shakespeare Plays which he made in 1867 has been persistently quoted as a final and authoritative pronouncement: "I believe that the author of the Plays published in 1623 was a man called William Shakespeare.
