About This Novel
"The Complete Essays of Bacon" was written by Francis Bacon (1561-1626), the greatest philosopher and writer during the British Renaissance. "The Complete Essays of Bacon" is the pioneer work of British essay literature, with a total of fifty-eight short essays. With its concise language, beautiful writing, thorough reasoning, and repeated aphorisms, it has become one of the greatest prose works in the history of world literature. Shelley, the great British poet, once praised in his famous "Poetic Defence": "Lord Bacon is a poet. His language has a sweet and solemn rhythm, which satisfies our senses, just as the almost superhuman wisdom in his philosophy satisfies our intelligence. The tone of his articles, magnificent and majestic, impacts the limitations of your heart, and pours your heart together, rushing towards the universe with which it will always resonate."
