He Sits 'Mongst Men Like A Descended God (Volume 3) - John Gardiner - Bog

Is it conceivable to imagine the author of Timon of Athens, Macbeth, and King Lear simply composed those peerless expressions of the tragedies within the human condition as mere entertainments for the "groundlings" in an Jacobean theatre? So powerful and heart-rending are these Plays they can only have been correlated experiences embedded in the author's life. This Volume of Essays continues to explicate with documented proof, coupled with Inductive Reasoning, that the Plays are the creations of Francis Bacon in response to the multifarious life-events in which he was directly involved. Through the medium of these staged dramas he committed to tell his story to futurity, a belief in which he repeatedly confirms his optimism through many of the works imprinted with his name. Literary Academia has fabricated, and continues to do so, a Legend under the name of William Shakespeare, generating an endless stream of unsubstantiated assertions which must be challenged and countermanded. There is a seated sculpture of Francis Bacon at Trinity College, Cambridge University, which proclaims: He Sits 'Mongst Men Like A Descended God.
