Who wrote Edmund Spencer's "Faery Queen"?

[Jack White]

Jack, I'm sure he didn't write "The Prince" as Machiavelli was responsible for that tomb that still haunts modern business and politics :damnmate:

At least I don't think he did. But he does seem to have had am amazing output, I agree.

I also used to be astonished at the sheer output of Jung too. His Collected Works are, by and large, heavy and dense tombs with enormous footnotes and references - things that obviously were not rushed. To write his few volumes of Alchemy he had read every extant volume on the subject available in Latin, Greek etc and then condensed these and had the largest private library on the subject at that time. It was an enormous effort but formed just one part of his output.

I think this is something Polymaths have at their command.

Thanks. How can we be sure about Machiavelli and Jung?

Did you read the Mark Twain essay I recommended? His was the
best writing I have read on the Bacon subject. He makes it make
lotsa sense.
