Excerpt from Uncrowned: A Story of Queen Elizabeth and the Early Life of Francis "Bacon" As Told in His Secret Writings and in Other Contemporary Records of Her ReignA writer of an historical romance is not usually asked to vouch his narrative with authorities, and availing myself of such privilege I have avoided encumbering 'my text with notes which sadly interfere with the lilt of a story. But at the same time, to meet the wants of 'the 'more inquisitive, I have added a few references in which, for the greater number of my inventions, particularly the more outrageous ones, authorities may mostly be found; so where I have relied on others for my embroideries I have as far as possible used not only their matter but their very words and phrasing. This I find secures a semblance and atmosphere of reality somewhat difficult other wise to suggest. A reader may perhaps have it that I actually believe in my own story; but surely it would be a slur on my art if at any rate for the time being.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
