Bacon and Shakspere

An extended argument examines surviving signatures, spellings, and documentary records associated with the poet and contends that the erratic autographs and orthographic variability make it unlikely he authored the works attributed to him. The author identifies Francis Bacon as the concealed poet Ignotus and supports this claim through chronographic parallels, close reading of the sonnets, examination of forgeries and legal instruments, and comparative analysis of contemporary spellings and handwriting. The text combines palaeographic detail with documentary chronology to argue for misattribution and to trace how authorship became obscured.
