The book examines the controversial theory that Francis Bacon, rather than William Shakespeare, was the true author of the renowned Shakespearean works. It seeks to demystify and debunk the myths surrounding this theory, engaging with various arguments put forth by its proponents while emphasizing the literary and historical significance of Shakespeare's own contributions.  The opening of the work presents the context of Fischer's speech given at the German Shakespeare Society in Weimar, detailing his motivation to clarify misconceptions surrounding Shakespeare and the Bacon theory. He acknowledges the extensive literature that has accumulated on the subject, revealing how numerous advocates affirming Bacon's authorship have proliferated amidst their skeptics. Fischer sets the stage for his analysis by critiquing the rise of the so-called "Shakespeare myth" that paints Shakespeare as a mere crafted image without real literary merit, while simultaneously positioning Bacon as a concealed mastermind. The text introduces the overarching themes of the debate, including the lack of concrete evidence supporting the Bacon theory and the contrasting views of Shakespeare's artistic genius.
