The book, titled ""Discovery Of Lord Verulam's Undoubted Authorship Of Shakespeare Works: Address To The New Shakespeare Society Of London (1881)"" by Catharine F. Ashmead Windle, is a historical and literary work that explores the controversial authorship of William Shakespeare's plays and sonnets. The book is an address given by Windle to the New Shakespeare Society of London in 1881, where she presents evidence that suggests Francis Bacon, the 1st Viscount St. Alban, was the true author of Shakespeare's works. Windle argues that Bacon's intellectual and literary abilities, as well as his connections to the theater and court, make him a more likely candidate for the authorship of Shakespeare's plays than Shakespeare himself. The book provides a detailed analysis of Bacon's life and works, as well as a critical examination of the Shakespearean canon. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the ongoing debate over the true authorship of Shakespeare's works.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
