The Bacon-Shakespeare Manuscript (Hitherto Known as the Northumberland Manuscript) which Originally Contained Copies of his Shakespeare Plays Richard II & Richard III
Phoenix, A, The Bacon-Shakespeare Manuscript (Hitherto known as the Northumberland Manuscript) which originally Contained Copies of his Shakespeare Plays Richard II and Richard III (2022), 239 pages.
The Francis Bacon collection of manuscripts hitherto known as The Northumberland Manuscript contains 17 writings comprising letters, prose essays, religio-political treatises, dramatic devices and plays and was discovered at Northumberland House in 1867. In ordinary circumstances it would certainly be the most famous document in the history of literary scholarship and its extraordinary contents and significance known not only to every Bacon and Shakespeare scholar and student of English literature, but to the rest of the English-speaking world and beyond, reaching to every corner of the globe. However, modern scholars and students of Bacon and Shakespeare assuming they even know of its existence, know little or nothing about this historical document and remain ignorant or unfamiliar with its contents. The main reason for this is it has been systematically suppressed and mispresented by Shakespeare orthodox editors, biographers and commentators for the last hundred and fifty years, not least because when its true significance is fully known to the world at large, it completely collapses the Stratfordian fiction that Shakspere of Stratford wrote the Shakespeare works and simultaneously reveals the author concealed behind the Rosicrucian mask is the great philosopher-poet Francis Bacon.
