An important and detailed overview of the key issues involved in the Baconian case from the Birmingham lawyer, prolific writer and Honorary President of The Francis Bacon Society.

E.D.J. as he was known was, ‘A prominent and formidable controversialist in the 1930s, uncompromising and fearless in debate. . he offered once a £1000 reward, through the Press, to anyone who could prove the authenticity of the Stratford ‘Birthplace’. E.D.J. was well aware of the weakness of the Stratford legend, and the strength of his own legal position. Of course the challenge was not accepted, by the Birthplace Trustees or any other interested party; and this was a great disappointment to him, though perhaps sound tactics on the part of the orthodox.’
