Autor

Sir Edwin Durning-Lawrence, 1st Baronet (1837–1914), was a distinguished British author and Member of Parliament, noted for his contributions to the Baconian theory regarding the authorship of William Shakespeare's works. He penned 'Bacon is Shake-Speare' (1910), in which he elaborately argued that Sir Francis Bacon, the renowned philosopher and statesman, was the true writer behind the pseudonym 'Shakespeare.' Durning-Lawrence's literary style was marked by meticulous research and a strong conviction in his hypothesis, highlighting cryptograms and parallels within the texts that he believed irrefutably pointed to Bacon's authorship. His works are often characterized by a systematic approach to the evidence he presented and remain a significant part of the ongoing Shakespeare authorship debate. Although his theories have not been widely accepted within the academic community, they continue to spark interest and discussion among literary scholars and enthusiasts of the Elizabethan era.
