Excerpt from Francis BaconThe life of Francis Bacon (1561 - 1626) covers the period of richest fulfilment in England of the Renascence spirit. Within the decade before his birth had been born Spenser, the poet who best expresses the positive moral and aesthetic ideals of the English Renascence Hooker, Whose fine spirit apprehended the best elements in the settlement of the English Church, and whose massive intellect took service under his intense religious instinct to give a defined position, a coherent justification, and a philosophical apology to that wise compromise between inherited faith, reforming zeal, and political exigency, and Sidney, poet and soldier, lover and philosopher, idealist and courtier, the very perfect gentle knight of the new chivalry. Two years after him were born Marlowe, in whose wild genius blazed into expression the Renascence craving for utter emotional and intel lectual freedom and fulfilment, and Shakespeare, in Whom the fire of the new youth of the world brightened into the clearest ¿ame of supreme genius.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
