Francis Bacon and his Literary Mask Edmund Spenser

Francis Bacon and his Spenserian Mask

This book shows that Francis Bacon was the actual author of the works traditionally attributed to Edmund Spenser. The work provides a detailed examination of Bacon’s hidden involvement in Elizabethan literature, claiming he utilised various “literary masks” to disseminate secret political and philosophical messages. Central to this theory are the cryptographic devices, anagrams, and numerical ciphers embedded within titles such as The Shepheardes Calender and The Faerie Queene. The book also explores Bacon as the secret son of Queen Elizabeth, using his poetry to navigate the dangerous complexities of the royal succession and his disinherited status. Furthermore, it highlights Bacon’s foundational role in Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry, suggesting these societies were instruments for his broader intellectual and philanthropic ambitions. Ultimately, the material portrays Bacon as a polymathic genius who orchestrated a vast “conspiracy of silence” to conceal his multifaceted influence on English history.
