Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Shakespeare Bacon This question has interested the readers of all cultured nations for many years. The louder one cries It was he, the more energetically the cry returns, "It was some other." But how could the question arise, anyway? Has it not been answered from the beginning, Shakespere wrote Shakespeare? The modem reader thinks the question is easily answered, by showing the title page of his edition of Shakespeare, for in all modern editions one finds the name William Shakespeare. But it has not always been so. From the year 1591 there appeared in London numerous plays which now bear the name William Shakespeare, but which at that time were anonymous. In 1598 the name first appeared on some of these plays. In the years between 1591 and 1598 there appeared not less than ten plays, King John, Romeo and Juliet, etc., etc., all without any name. So dramas appeared, some anonymously, and some with Shakespeare´s name, till the year 1616, when the Actor Shakespere died. In 1623, seven years after his death, the Folio edition of the plays appeared with Shakespeare´s name. This contains thirty-six plays, fifteen of which had never been printed, and the majority of the rest were greatly enlarged and improved. It is a fact that Shakespere recognized but seventeen of the plays during his lifetime by attaching his name to them, that about a half dozen appeared anonymously and remained anonymous, and that seven years after the actors death, fifteen entirely new plays appeared, and at that time, 1623, the anonymous and new plays first appeared with Shakespeare´s name. Hence the matter is not so simple as the modern reader would like to believe. For years a cloud of mystery surrounded the works of the poet, and after the appearance of the later quarto editions, as well as of the 1623 Folio, the mystery still remained. Look closely at the picture from the Folio. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
