Who Wrote Bacon?

More about the book

For years, a debate has persisted over whether Shakespeare truly authored the plays and poems attributed to him, with skeptics suggesting other figures as the true writers. Richard Ramsbotham presents a fresh perspective by reexamining the evidence and incorporating Rudolf Steiner’s spiritual-scientific insights. He explores Shakespeare’s life as an actor, the mystery surrounding the enigmatic Psalm 46, and the ongoing speculation about Francis Bacon’s possible connection to Shakespeare. A growing movement posits Bacon as the hidden author of these works, aiming to elevate him as a central figure in British civilization and a patron saint of modern science. Ramsbotham provides significant evidence of a connection between Shakespeare and Bacon, yet his findings challenge the conclusions of the Baconian movement. He also sheds light on King James I and his relationships with Shakespeare, Bacon, Jakob Böhme, Rudolf II, Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry, and the original Globe Theatre. Published 400 years after the Hampton Court Conference of 1604, this work contributes timely insights into these themes, emphasizing their relevance to contemporary understanding. The book includes eight pages of black-and-white plates.
