About This Item
New Haven: Published by A.H. Maltby, 1831 First edition of this collection of three long stories on American colonial life. Original light brown muslin with orange printed paper spine label. . Twelvemo. A good, tight copy of the first book by an author who would later propose the Baconian theory of Shakespeare authorship. Delia Bacon (1811 – 1859) was an author, playwright, and Shakespeare scholar who, during her lectures, popularized the theory that Francis Bacon (no relation) was the true author of Shakespeare's works. In 1856, William Henry Smith became the first to publish work advancing the theory, and Bacon published her first book on the theory, The Philosophy of the Plays of Shakespeare Unfolded, the next year. According to Bacon, "Shakespeare" was actually a group of writers including Francis Bacon, Sir Walter Raleigh, and Edmund Spenser.
