| Francis Bacon |
| Just a little Histroy Francis Bacon was born in London on January 22, 1561, at York House off the Strand. He was the youngest of two sons of Sir Nicholas Bacon, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal under Queen Elizabeth I.In 1573, Bacon entered Trinity College, Cambridge and studied there until1575. His father died when Bacon was eighteen and, because Bacon was theyoungest, he remained virtually penniless. The only way he saw for a poor man to get out and establish himself, both financially and socially, was to study law. |
| In the 1780's a Reverend James Wilmot went to where shakespeare lives to write a biography, but later he gave up on his search for the books that were owned by william shakespeare were William lived in Warwickshire. Eventually Wilmot revealed to a visitor his belief that the works of Shakespeare had been written by "some other person," perhaps Sir Francis Bacon. Because the secondhand account of Wilmot's conclusions did not surface until 1932, the credit for the opening public salvo in the debate is given to Delia Bacon (no relation to Francis) and William H. Smith, who each published a book in 1857 suggesting that William Shakespeare of Stratford could not have been the author of the works of "Shakespeare." Both writers implicated Francis Bacon. |
