Autorenporträt
William Henry Burr (1819-1908) was an American skeptic and author, best known for his critical works challenging the authorship of certain historical literary figures, including his notable pamphlet 'Bacon and Shakspere: Proof That William Shakspere Could Not Write' (1881). In this provocative work, Burr espoused the theory that Sir Francis Bacon was the true author of some of the plays traditionally attributed to William Shakespeare, engaging in a debate that has persisted among scholars and literary enthusiasts to this day. Burr was part of the larger Baconian movement, which questioned the authorship of Shakespeare's works, arguing that a more educated individual like Bacon was a likely candidate. With a meticulous approach to literary scrutiny and an eye for detail, Burr's contributions to the Shakespeare authorship question reflect the fervor for intellectual examination characteristic of his era's scholarly pursuits. He was not primarily known as a literary figure but rather for his controversial stance on the Shakespeare authorship question and other iconoclastic views. Burr's work engendered considerable debate and remains a reference point in discussions about the authorship of Shakespeare's works, providing a window into the broader landscape of 19th-century literary criticism and skepticism.
