Summary

"Bacon and Shakespeare" by Albert Frederick Calvert is a narration from the 1900s that looks into a long-standing argument: who really wrote the famous plays of William Shakespeare? The book challenges the idea that Francis Bacon was the real author. Calvert is doubtful of the claims that support Bacon, thinking they are built on confusion and twisting facts. He sets out to prove Shakespeare was the true writer. The book shares reasons and proof to go against the idea of Bacon being the playwright, painting Bacon as someone who wouldn't deserve such credit. Calvert aims to give readers a better grasp of this disagreement in the world of literature, highlighting the different traits of Shakespeare and Bacon.
