SPENSER’S TOMB
Believing that the tomb of the poet Edmund Spenser , in Westminster Abbey holds the solution of the Shakespeare-Bacon controversy, the Bacon Society is seeking permission to open it. It is claimed that when Spenser was buried his fellow poets placed signed elegies in the grave, and it is hoped that one will be found signed by Shakespeare but in Bacon’s handwriting. The Dean of Westminster is willing to accede to the request—provided that a sufficient number of literary people recommend the opening of the tomb —on the grounds of historical interest.
