The work explores the controversial debate surrounding the authorship of William Shakespeare's plays and whether they were actually written by Francis Bacon. The book aims to challenge the claims made by supporters of Baconian theories and to reaffirm Shakespeare's position as the true author of the plays. The opening of the book sets the stage for a detailed examination of the Bacon-Shakespeare authorship controversy. Calvert expresses his skepticism about Baconianism, suggesting that it is based on misunderstandings and misrepresentations of both figures. He indicates that the book will offer evidence and arguments against the notion that Bacon wrote Shakespeare's works, portraying Bacon's character and actions as unworthy of the authorship attributed to him. Through this initial exposition, Calvert intends to equip readers with a clearer understanding of the nuances involved in this literary debate, emphasizing the distinct qualities that characterize both Bacon and Shakespeare.
