Comments

The second book by Delia Bacon (1811-59), an historical tale set during the early days of the American Revolution, told in a series of dialogues, that includes among its principle characters John Andre and Benedict Arnold. Bacon is principally remembered for her obsession with the idea that Shakespeare’s plays were written by a cabal of Elizabethan figures that included her ancestor Francis Bacon.
