He Sits 'Mongst Men Like A Descended God John Gardiner

Continuing the series with Volume Four of He Sits 'Mongst Men Like A Descended God, Othello, this Essay details vivid correlations between existential facts known from Sir Francis Bacon's Life, his multifarious associations, socially, culturally, politically, and artistically, and his dramatization within the named Play. Of especial significance is the historical timing of the Play's composition with his life-events, notably, marriage to Alice Barnham, and subsequent Fall from the Lord Chancellorship of England.
