Active Members' Pages

This page is devoted to those members of the Bacon Society who wish to share their research, and news of their current projects via the Internet. During its existence of over 120 years, the Society's membership has included actors, lawyers, historical researchers and others whose professional life enabled them to shed light on Baconian issues.

While grounded in a passion for Bacon, Shakespeare and little-known aspects of Elizabethan history, the breadth of the Society's interests can he had by skimming the Index to Baconiana. This part of the wesbite will continue to expand, as new subjects and viewpoints are added to old.
