"Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed,
and some few to be chewed and digested.
That is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention."--Francis Bacon

"How shall we stretch our eye
When capitol crimes, chew'd, swallowed and digested
Appear before us?"
--Henry V (II,ii)



 

Here is a select bibliography of the works of Francis Bacon, followed by two bibliographies of works about him regarding the authorship and other topics. The shorter one is first, and covers works from roughly 1920 to the present. The longer version is from James Phinney Baxter's book, The Greatest of Literary Problems (1915), and covers the 1850's to 1915.

***

Those who wish to analyze the writing style of Francis Bacon would be well advised to read his greatest works in the original Latin that many of them, such as Novum Organum, were penned in. Those who don't read Latin will only be analyzing the writing style of Bacon's translators.

---Advertisement Touching A Holy War, 1622, pub.1629 Now available from Waveland Press Francis Bacon is rightly celebrated as one of the founders of the scientific and technological revolution that transformed Western civilization. His chief works argue that a society dedicated to science and technology would "relieve the human estate," providing a longer, healthier, more informed, and more ennobling life for everyone. Bacon's remarkable An Advertisement Touching a Holy War stands as a document of major historical importance and intense current relevance because it offers an additional reason for the modern revolution. In it Bacon dares to suggest that a revolution in thinking and acting is necessary because European intellectual and spiritual life as well as European politics had been captured by religious fanaticism that threatened to plunge Renaissance Europe into another dark age. Bacon chose the old literary device of dialogue to present his argument for wholesale change indirectly. In the conversation of his characters he allows readers to see the reasons for kindling spiritual warfare against the spiritual rulers of European civilization. An Advertisement Touching a Holy War (Google PDF) gives a great philosopher's reasons for initiating the war between science and religion that was actually fought in the coming centuries in Western civilization and of which we are the heirs

Barclay, John. Argenis Paris 1621. "Reveals Francis's royal birth and details of his early life including his visit to France in the 1570's, his love affair with Marguerite de Valois, daughter of Henri II and Catherine de Medici. The story is in the form of an elaborate allegory. The second English edition of 1629 provided a key to interpret the characters historically. These are beautiful statements of Baconian strategy: to teach wisdom under the mask of pleasure, and to conceal (and yet reveal) true history by mingling it with the fanciful, but providing sufficient keys and clues for the earnest seeker after truth. The Shakespeare Plays, amongst others, were constructed on this strategy."--Peter Dawkins from his book Dedication to the Light

A look at Francis Bacon's early life.... the story of his real parents, his birth and adoption, and the Gorhambury Platonic School where he was educated along with his brother, Anthony. Here is the secret and intriguing jigsaw of this great souls background. This book also describes a particular Wisdom Tradition, namely the Bardic Mysteries and it's poetic tales of initiation. 156 pp.
---. The Great Vision. 1985.
This journal describes the life of Francis Bacon when, as a young man he received his Great Vision and began to develop the new Rosicrucian work.

---Arcadia
1988 Here is Sir Francis Bacon's life as he continues to work with his vision.

Francis Bacon: The Herald of the New Age. 1997. Introduction to the genius and hidden nature of Sir Francis Bacon, and to his vast philanthropic work which is relevant for mankind today as it was in the 17 Century. Francis Bacon : Father of the Rosicrucians, Celestial Timing : The Virgin Queen & The Rose Cross Knight, Shakespeare : Sons of the Virgin Bacon.has been described as one of the greatest of the adepts and imperators of the Rosicrucian Fraternity. As with most of the great adepts of history, a profound mystery surrounds him; but the veils which conceal this particular master soul have a special function relating to the New Age of Aquarius now dawning, and, with right motive and a little effort, they can be drawn aside to reveal a great guiding Light.' This book will fascinate anyone who is interested in the Rosicrucians, the Gnostics, the secret doctrine handed down through the ages, or the profound wisdom hidden in William Shakespeare's plays and the connection between Shakespeare and Bacon. Bacon is often much maligned by historians, for circumstances and higher reasons often caused him to conceal or mask the truth about himself. However, plenty of clues were left by Bacon and others for those who could understand, enabling the author to reveal the secret labour of this Renaissance genius to prepare humanity for a`Golden Age' - the Age of Aquarius now dawning - whose coming was known to the Rosicrucians since time immemorial. 111pp.

The Wisdom of Shakespeare Series
---As You Like It .1998
A play of pure fairytale.....or so it seems. Just beneath the dream world is a story that deals with political, psychological and social matters, but deeper still are very truths that pervade the human soul as it journeys through life. Peter Dawkins discusses this magic. Foreword by Mark Rylance, Actor and Director of the Globe Theatre in London. 322pp.
---The Merchant of Venice. 1998
On the face of it, The Merchant of Venice is a play with strong political and moral overtones, bringing up painful subjects such as racism, intolerance, greed, racial and religious exclusivity and self-righteousness, and forcing us to reconsider our attitudes to them. Beneath this level, however, lies an even deeper layer of meaning, pertaining to the human soul and the hidden laws of life that govern its destiny. This layer is reached via the symbolism embedded in the play, which is deftly unlocked for us in this book by Peter Dawkins. Peter reveals the author of Shakespeare's plays as far more, even, than a great poet and dramatist. He was a master of Christian Cabala and Neoplatonic philosophy, fully conversant with the mystery teachings of the ancient world, and a supreme educator, able to convey, through entertainment, the profoundest secrets of the spiritual path. Foreword by Mark Rylance. 236pp.
---Julius Caesar. 1998 In this play the life of Julius Caesar is used to illustrate important esoteric teachings, especially those of Freemasonry. As a tragedy it's key issues revolve around life and death, issues that are of prime importance for all time. Peter Dawkins provides the insight to greater understanding and enjoyment of this play. Foreword by Mark Rylance. 202pp
--- THE TEMPEST, 1999. The book introduces the reader to the real meaning of Prospero’s magic, the nature of Ariel his spirit, the roles of the other characters as aspects of the human psyche, and the alchemical and cosmological rhythms of the play. The Tempest is shown as being a ‘book’ of wisdom and initiation written by a Master who knows the possibilities of the human mind and who appears to have been deeply involved in the underground Rosicrucian movement of his time. (IC Media Productions, 2000. Paperback, 270pp)
The Master Series :
---BUILDING PARADISE : The Freemasonic and Rosicrucian Six Days' Work 2001 Francis Bacon was one of the world’s great geniuses&emdash;a Master of Wisdom who was the ‘Elijah’ or herald of the Aquarian Age that we are now entering. He was the ‘Apollo’ or President of the Rosicrucians in the 16/17th centuries, the founder and first Grand Master of modern Freemasonry, a secret poet/playwright as well as an outstanding philosopher, and the acknowledged leader of the poets, philosophers, writers and artists of his time. Bacon's mission was to give us an Art of Discovery and to train us in this art, so that we might be able to discover all things, all truth, in a proficient, beautiful and life-enhancing way&emdash;the way of a true artist. As a great Master of Cabala, Bacon’s work is Cabalistic. It is known as 'The Six Days’ Work'&emdash;the creative work of the Rosicrucians. This book tells you how this work works and how it can build paradise on earth. (215pp)

Duchaussoy, J. Bacon, Shakespeare, ou Saint-Germain? La Colombe, Paris, 1962. From page 122, "Another curious case of cryptography was presented to the public in 1917 by one of the best Bacon scholars, Dr. Alfred von Weber Ebenhoff of Vienna. Employing the same systems previously applied to the works of Shakespeare, he began to examine the works of Cervantes...... Pursuing the investigation, he discovered overwhelming material evidence: the first English translation of Don Quixote bears corrections in Bacon's hand. He concluded that this English version was the original of the novel and that Cervantes had published a Spanish translation of it."

It is high time for this illustrious designation to be restored to him.

Francis Bacon: A Critical Edition of the Major Works 1978 & 1996 This is the first extensive one-volume anthology of Bacon's writings since 1905. It includes the major English literary works on which his reputation rests: the Advancement of Learning (1605), the Essays (1597 and 1625), and the posthumously published New Atlantis (1626). In addition it reprints sixteen other works which are not otherwise available, which show Bacon's remarkable all-round abilities in politics, law, theology, and poetry. A special feature of the edition is its extensive annotation, which identifies Bacon's sources and allusions (in the Bible, in classical literature, and in Renaissance texts). It also provides full explanation of Bacon's vocabulary, which is as rich as Shakespeare's, but far less familiar. Detailed headnotes recreate the political and intellectual contexts in which these works were produced. 813 pages (to order)
---The History of the Reign of King Henry VII 1998
This is a major new student edition of the text described as 'the first modern classic of English history'. Francis Bacon's penetration into human motives, his life-long experience of politics and government, and his remarkable literary skills, render this History of the Reign of King Henry VII a major work of English literature and an important document in the history of political thought. The edition also includes other relevant writings by Bacon, generous editorial footnotes explaining the historical and political issues of the period, and a substantial glossary.

Audiocassette available through Sound Photosynthesis, 533 Charles Lane, Mill Valley, CA 94941. Arthur Young :

"One of the things that has convinced me the most is that those who believe in Shakespeare don't seem to have the same kind of knowledge of facts and the depth of perception. They're mostly denying Bacon because--well--most people don't think so, therefore it isn't true. Shakespeareans are very defensive, often very superficial in their treatment of what is put out by Baconians."
