Francis
Bacon: The History of a Character Assassination
by Nieves Mathews
Yale Univ Pr; June 1996
"Bacon's personal reputation, [Mathews] contends,
has been unduly defamed by
historians (in particular,
Thomas Babington Macaulay). The crimes
traditionally
ascribed to Bacon have involved his supposed betrayal
of
his patron, the Earl of Essex, and his corruption during
his tenure as
Lord Chancellor. Few will question the
thoroughness of Mathews's
exhaustive research, especially
with regard to the primary sources,
which she quotes with
sureness and frequency." - Publishers' Weekly.

'provides the first truly general account of Francis Bacon
as a philosopher. It explores in detail how and why Bacon
