Tudor Problems,

That Francis Bacon was a son of Ellza-
beth Tudor. queen of England, and peo'
ley, earl OF Leicester and that he wrote
the plays of one William Shakespeare. Is
the main idea upon which Parker Wood
ward, an English author, has based MS
Tudor Problems. He sets out thai
this intimacy between Elizabeth and the
earl began in the Tower of London, III
which they were both prisoners at the
same time, and that there was secret
passage connecting the apartments OF
these prisoners. Mr.. Woodward writes
that secret marriage took place be-
tween the earl and Elizabeth after she
came to the throne and that Bacon. the
issue of this marriage, was brought up
as the son of Sir Nicholas Bacon. In all
this there is nothing that has not here
tefore been advanced by those who
claim that Bacon wrote Shakespeare S
plays, as well as the plays of other
dramatists of that period, Greene Kyd,
Marlowe and others; but Mr.. Woodward
gives a new reason for Bacon's alleged
dramatic authorship. He says there was
good cause why Bacon should not write
historical chronicles at a time when ms
position was insecure and in peril, and
that being in close touch with these men
he caused them to carry out the chroni-
Gle plays helping them with material and
advice and aiding them to educate the
public along such lines as Bacon chose,
much better than could be done by
learned treatises such as those to which
lie attached his own name. The Bacon
