Delia Bacon was an American author and playwright who is best know today for her theory that William Shakespeare's plays were actually written by a group of British men, including Francis Bacon (no relation), Sir Walter Raleigh and others. In 1857, with Hawthorne's help, book The Philosophy of the Plays of Shakespeare Unfolded was finally published. Hawthorne generously wrote a foreward for the book, in which he stated that he did not believe her theory. In her book Delia alleged that Shakespeare could not have written the plays because he was ignorant and unschooled. The book was harshly criticized and a commercial failure. Later on, Mark Twain claimed to be impressed by it, and Walt Whitman, Henry James and others came to believe her theories, but it was too late.

Delia Bacon has been both credited with and blamed for having initiated the controversy over the true authorship of Shakespeare's plays. Her article in the esteemed "Putnam's Magazine" issue of January, 1856 was the first published assertion that the plays in The Folio were not written by William Shakespeare. It was Ralph Waldo Emerson who encouraged her to expand her theories to book length. "The Philosophy of the Plays of Shakespeare Unfolded" was the result. However, the book does not confront the authorship issue. Instead, as its title indicates, it is a search for the still unearthed philosophy concealed in the plays.
