ABSTRACT
Francis Bacon pay little attention to his composition of fictional entertainments. However, he appears to have been an active organizer and writer of Inns of Court masques and revels, as well as an author of devices for Queen’s Day celebrations. Francis Bacon took his first breath on 22 January 1561 at York House on the Strand. In 1584, Bacon’s plan for a new system of philosophy began to crystallize, a scheme he called his Great Instauration or Renewal of Learning. In 1593, Bacon entered Parliament representing Middlesex, which included Westminster and the law courts, but naively made a speech in opposition to the queen’s tax plans. The Earl of Essex was brought before a hearing at York House, and after a reprimand from Bacon, the embattled earl took the view that both Bacon and Robert Cecil were conspirators in a plot to undo him.
