In recent years, historians, authors of books on literary history, reference books and tourist guides have made one or more of these damaging admissions.

These comments reveal the rapid decline in our belief in William of Stratford. More and more books now refer to the possibility that the Stratford story may be only a legend, a money-making myth.

Students and professors of English literature in every university are becoming increasingly aware that we must know more about Shake-spear, the mysterious author who brought enlightenment and wisdom to everyone who could see his plays and read his texts. These great dramas were written 400 years ago, but we still know less about Shakespeare than we know about Christ or Julius Caesar.

Many people, including Lord Dacre (letter of 5 Sept 1975), have found that the evidence for thinking that the author was William Shakespeare is inconclusive. By a thorough examination of the many weak points in the orthodox theory, the press will soon perhaps bring forward the day when this disturbing controversy is brought to a conclusion.

Ivor Brown and Anthony Burgess have admitted that at least one Shakespeare play, Love's Labour's Lost, may have been written by Francis Bacon.

Enough is known already to enable us to solve this mystery. These works were produced by a polymath, the world's greatest genius of the written word. There are 8 facts that constitute conclusive evidence that the author was Francis Bacon.

The Shakespeare Authorship Information Centre today introduces a new dimension to the already complex debate: Who was the real author of Don Quixote? The solution to this question in fact solves the whole Shakespeare authorship puzzle. There is no evidence that Cervantes wrote this masterpiece, but there is a mass of evidence, mostly in the novel itself, that the author is Francis Bacon. Over 150 quotations have been found in Don Quixote which appear in the plays of Shakespeare or the works of Bacon - or both.

September 18th 1996

On July 18th 1996, the Shakespeare Authorship Information Centre introduced a new dimension into the still unsolved question of Don Quixote. Some of the most surprising features of this question were given in extracts from Francis Carr's new book, Who Wrote Don Quixote?

These pages were published on the Internet, on the new web site established by the Shakespeare Authorship Information Centre. Libraries, Universities and Colleges all around the world now have access to this new information.

Not one letter has been received, nor one article in any paper has been printed, which in any way refutes Francis Carr's findings that the author of this 1605 masterpiece is Francis Bacon. The literary establishments here, in Spain and the USA have been looking for at least one document that proves Cervantes' authorship. The cupboard is bare.

The question that every literary professor and editor is now asking is 'Where do we go from here?'

Two English newspapers, The Times and The Daily Telegraph, pride themselves on their coverage of new discoveries in the world of art, literature and music. Which paper will be the first to feature this important new development?
