Synopsis "He Sits 'Mongst Men Like A Descended God (Volume Two)"

He Sits 'Mongst Men Like A Descended God (Volume Two) essays three First Folio Plays attributed by Academia to Shakespeare, Cymbeline, Hamlet and King Henry VIII. Francis Bacon, in an astonishing letter written to Count Gondomar, Ambassador from the Court of Spain, dated June 6, 1621, wrote: Now that at once my age, my fortunes, and my genius, to which I have hitherto done but scanty justice, call me from the stage of active life, I shall devote myself to letters, instruct the actors on it and serve posterity. The letters refer of course to the composition and revision of Plays for publication as the famous First Folio of 1623. John Heminges and Henry Condell are the two actors Bacon instructed to have the Folio printed with a masked cover, carrying the name, Shakespeare, and a fictitious image purporting to be a portrait of the latter. While Bacon chose Cymbeline as the Play with which to close the First Folio, it is Hamlet which fulsomely captures the flight of his genius in conveying his most personal and emotional responses to the life-tapestry the Fates had created for him. King Henry VIII is special as it is a valedictory remembrance of his maternal Grandfather, Grandmother, and the birth of his Mother, subsequently Queen Elizabeth I. There are sacred places for pilgrimage in England above all others, St. Albans, Gray's Inn and Cambridge University, for there has been no Englishman greater than Francis Bacon as so many of his contemporaries and near-contemporaries testified in print.
