What reading level is The Problem of the Shakespeare Plays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is a tissue of improbabilities which multiply by geo- metrical progression into the impossible. But all fit natur- ally and exactly into the life of Francis Bacon, and reflect its varying colour.
If Bacon was the author of the plays this could not be avowed ; some author must be named for plays so successful.
In the contempt in which the stage was then held, an avowal of the authorship of stage plays would have de- stroyed Bacon's good prospects of judicial or other office, and ruined his pr...ofessional career. It would have dis- graced him at Court, and bitterly incensed his mother.
Literature as a profession, even apart from play-writing, was then deemed degrading to a man of position. Mon- taigne said for a man of good family to addict himself to literature for so "abject an end as gain " was "unworthy of the grace and favour of the Muses. " Selden, in his "Table Talk, " says : " 'Tis ridiculous for a Lord to print verses, 'tis well enough to make them to please himself, but to make them public is foolish"; and the author of "The Arte of English Poesie " (1589) says he has known "very many notable gentlemen of the Court that have written (poetry) commendably and suppressed it again, or else suffered it to be published without their own names to it.
