Autor

John Denham Parsons (1861 - September 14, 1936)[1] was an English writer and Shakespeare authorship theorist. Parsons was a proponent of the Baconian theory of Shakespeare authorship.[2] Between 1918 and 1935 he published many works on this topic, including articles in Baconiana and letters in the correspondence columns of Notes and Queries and The Times Literary Supplement.[2] He attempted pamphlet controversy with Sir Sidney Lee and authorities at the British Museum over the Shakespeare authorship question. Parsons' book The Non-Christian Cross (1896) argued that the Christian cross symbol is not Christian in origin.[3] He was a member of the Society for Psychical Research. Parsons authored a 561 page book The Nature and Purpose of the Universe on philosophy and psychical research, published in 1908.
