Francis Bacon too dull for Shakespeare? "

Who wrote Shakespeare, he must have been a living man. The book by Virginia M. Fellows, the code of Shakespeare, makes a very strong case for the author of Francis Bacon of the works of William Shakespeare, based on historical evidence and the statements are figures in the works of Shakespeare. She is not alone with what many have come to the conclusion that the works of Shakespeare were written not by the actor William Shakespeare. Many people argue that Bacon was the true author of this literary treasure, think that Mark Twain, for example, who wrote: "To write with powerful effect, it should write the life he led, as Bacon, when Shakespeare wrote.

Among the various claims and arguments cited for each case, one of the arguments used by those who speak of the author by a person other than Bacon is that Francis Baconcould not have written Shakespeare's plays and sonnets, because he was a guy dull and boring, more at ease in a world of law than drama. Some have called him a fish "cold" is not capable of affinity with the air, often noisy and hilarious invoked at stake in the immortal bard.

This provides an interesting argument. It is true that Bacon spent most of his life in service of law, but it has been boring? Can civil servants Crispy Bacon and State Advocate, the Solicitor General, Attorney General, Lord Chancellor, had some more hidden, which are generally escaped public attention? There are good places to find an answer: in his biography, and in his own writings.

Whats biographical comments on a lighter side of Bacon's character is much more. His first biographer, Dr. William Rawley, who worked for his literary secretary and the office of his chaplain also reports a significant statement of Francis as a boy. Queen Elizabeth had often ask myself the son of Lord Keepers (believed to be his eldest son) than at court. Rawley writes: The Queen was asked how old he was, he answered discreetly, but then the guy who had two years less happy power of His Majesty, the Queen replied that he had much to do.

Inside the circle of his friends, Bacon was a noted lover of mockery and a joke. Alfred Dodd, excellent in Bacons biographer, the loan poet, Ben Johnson, a secretary and a friend of Mr. Bacon for many years, wrote this tribute BaconHis language was nobly censorship when he could not pass by a joke.


Dodd cites an eyewitness report of Mr. Rawley,

One morning after a night of sickness, he [bacon] was not less than 308 anecdotes, said Dr. Rawley, who published them in 1671. This session has made his fame from his memory without turning on any book. Lord Macaulay [another film] said in 1848 that the Supreme Court as" the best collection of jokes in the world.

Bacons own writings clearly show his love for the written word, its serious and comic side. Make people understand the impressive amount of literary and scientific works produced by Francis Bacon, or brilliant, witty and often poetic quality of his writing,He is the man to whom we owe such pithy aphorisms as "knowledge is power." For example, his series of fifty-eight essays, including moral and political" contains lines and phrases, which compete with the best prose ever produced in English. These essays provide a thorough and sometimes humorous reflection on a wide range of topics: friendship, Truth, Death, health, luck, and true greatness, but a few.

Is the following sentence, which opens the first essay, truth has occurred in the mind Moron?

What truth?" He said a playful Pilate and left the answer.

Essay number 24" simulation and dissimulation, begins with a short, sharp observation, it is equally true today as Queen Elizabeth I of other times:

Concealment is low but a kind of policy or wisdom, because it requires a keen sense of humor and a strong heart to know when to say the truth, and to do so it is weaker sort of politicians who are the great hidden.

Its easy entitled delay is packed with chic, light-footed phrases that could easily find a suitable home in Shakespeare's "Fortune is like the market, how many times you can keep a small price to fall. (...) There is probably no more wisdom than well to time in the early onset and other things. Hazards are not more light if they once seem light, and more dangers have deceived men than forced them, yes, it was better to meet some dangers half way, but they were almost nothing than to keep too long watch on their methods, because if a man watch too long, it is odds, it's going to sleep. (...)rate of maturity or immaturity, and when (as we said) must always be well weighed, and usually is a good start to bind all the very act of his 100 eyes of Argus and ends Briareus his hundred hands, and then the first clock at a speed ....

And the successors and Friends (Wise 48), and as this is an unforgettable alkusäe should not be expensive followers wanted the same man commissioned this train, makes his wings shorter.

Francis Bacon boring? Those who express their opinion by saying that may not have written Shakespeare should seek better reasons, deaf this was certainly a great man!
