AB  - Discusses the significance of Delia Bacon's scholarship on the Shakespeare authorship question and the reception of her "unreadable" book, The Philosophy of the Plays of Shakspere Unfolded (1857). Concludes that Bacon "wrote about Shakespeare authorship as a poet or novelist rather than as a literary or historical scholar" and that, reading her scholarship as anything but "fiction, fantasy or romance," "we can only conclude that it remains . . . a scholarship without content, an argument without conclusion and a history without evidence."
