Sir Edwin Durning-Lawrence: A Baconian and his Books

K. E. Attar

Sir Edwin Durning-Lawrence (1837–1914) was a leading Baconian in the debate over Shakespearean authorship, renowned in his time and frequently cited since. From approximately 1888 he built up a fine library to support his thesis. The current article reviews Durning-Lawrence's place in the Baconian controversy, describes the comprehensive documentation concerning his library, discusses his acquisition policy and treatment of his books, and examines the content of his library to illuminate a collection motivated by a mission.
