Summary: "Baconian Essays" by E. W. Smithson is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. The book critically examines the authorship of the works attributed to William Shakespeare, presenting a case that argues Francis Bacon as the true author. This collection also includes contributions from notable figures like Sir George Greenwood, who adds his own essays and introduction to the discourse on literary identity. The beginning of "Baconian Essays" introduces the controversial debate surrounding the authenticity of Shakespeare's authorship, setting the stage for Smithson's arguments. It presents a range of perspectives, particularly highlighting the views of influential writers like Henry James, who questioned Shakespeare's legitimacy as the author of his celebrated works. Smithson challenges the conventional belief in the Stratford actor's authorship by proposing an alternative narrative that suggests literary deception was common in Shakespeare's time and that significant literary works were instead produced by Bacon under the guise of a pseudonym. This opening portion establishes an analytical tone that invites readers to reconsider widely held assumptions about one of literature's most iconic figures.
