Bacon, Shakespeare and the Rosicrucians is a book written by W. F. C. Wigston that explores the alleged connections between Francis Bacon, William Shakespeare, and the Rosicrucian movement. The book delves into the esoteric beliefs and practices of the Rosicrucians, a secret society that emerged in Europe in the early 17th century, and suggests that Bacon and Shakespeare were members or associates of this group. Wigston presents a range of evidence to support his theory, including hidden codes and symbols in Shakespeare's plays and Bacon's writings, as well as historical documents and testimonies from contemporary figures. The book also offers insights into the cultural and intellectual context of the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras, and the influence of occult and mystical traditions on literature and philosophy.
