Desde enero de 1856, cuando la es-
lcritora norteamerieana Della Bacon
public6 en- Monthly Magazine un ar
tfculo en-. ell eual trato de demostrar
que los dramas atribufdos a Shakes
peare fueron escritos en- realidad por
Francisco Baconfde Verulanl, este pro
blema arduo no ha cesado de preocu-
par los literatos nj al gran plblico.
Incitados por la audaz hipotesis de la
autora del artfculo en- question, los es-
pecialistas realizaron detenidas inves-
tigaciones y. coinparando los manus-
critos de Bacon con los dramas del
Ecisne de Avon, encontraron varias
particularidades inquietantes que pa
reefan reforzar la suposicion, 81 no de
/ la paternidad de Bacon de las obras
| firmadas por Shakespeare, por 10 me-
nos de su~intervencion en- elias. Sin
embargo, por.ninguna parte Sc vislunl-
bro la certidumbre v la hipotesis ST.
guio basandose en- la suposicion logica
de que era mas natural que las obras
linmortales del teatro ingles tuviesen
/ como auter al honbre mas quito de su
epoca, que no un carnicero POGO me-
nos que iletrado.
Como, por un lado, no Sc tenfa gran
fe en- ell genio del Shakespeare, de
baja extraction, de cultura inferior v
de vida miserable, y por otra parte,
ell estar relacionado con ell teatro era
EN- aquella epoca un hecho degradante,
los sabios trataron de encontrar entire
los contemporaries de Shakespeare
una personalidad, cuya vida Y esprit
tn dejaran suponer fuera el autor de
los dramas, y cuya posicion social lie
hubiera impuesto ell seud6nimo. En-
1912 Sc publie6 la obra del professor
Demblon, en- la cual ell catedratico de
la Universidad de Lieja atribuyo la
paternidad de los dramas lord Rut-
land, y siete amos. mas tarde, Abel Le-
frame, el gran especialista de la lite
ratura del siglo XVI, afirno que de-
tras de Ia mascara de Shakespeare Sc
ocultaba William Stanley, sexto conde
de Derby. Sin embargo, la "tesis-Ba-
con" no ceso de sostenerse, y acaba
de obtener brillante consagracion, que,
segdn nuestro modesto parecer, apenas
deja duda respecto a la paternidad de
Bacon en- la mayor parte de las obras
firmadas por Shakespeare.

Francisco Bacon empieza su auto
biografia con la revelation sorpren-
dente de que el es ell hijo mayor de la
Reina Isabel, nacido clandestinamente
del matrimonio secreto de la Soberana
con ell conde de Leicester. (En otro
Iarticulo examinaremos este problema,
que ha de causar sensaeions entire los
historiadones.) Ell secreto de su naci,
miento lie fue revelado I'm dia por una
disputa entire la Reina y una de sus
damas. Entonces la Reina hubo de
confesar al joven Francisco que era su
madre; pero anadio que, a pesar de
clio, jamas llegarfa a reinar. Sin emf
barge, ell joven sono desde aquel dia

v, veces, con una corona. Sc vic va
heredero del Trono con el titulo de
Principe de Gales, y esta pudo ser su-
ficiente raz6n para ocultar su nombre
en- sus producciones de teatro. AL pro-
nunciarse en- favor de lord Derby,
Abel Lefranc hace la observation ge-
nial de que casi todas las obras de
Shakespeare refejan ell anhelo, el te-
NOR, ell plan la inquietud de un pre-
tendiente al Trono. Cierto que lord
Derby tuyo pretensiones la succession
de Isabel; pero 81 la autobiografia de
Bacon resulta autentica, la observa-
ci6n del sabio catedratico frances ga
nara en- eiarivideneia y Sc referiri al
heredero mas direeto y mas legftimo
de la, Corona de Inglaterra. Otros
"s "shakespearistas" afrmaron que los
dramas eran necesariamente obra de
i'm hornbre de gran erudicion, que CO.
nocieraa la politica y la vida de la Cor
