Sir Edwin Durning-Lawrence, 1st Baronet (2 February 1837 21 April 1914) was a British lawyer and Member of Parliament and was the first alternative candidate proposed as the author of Shakespeare's plays and was the most popular alternative candidate in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. (This could possibly be the worlds' longest-surviving conspiracy theory, albeit a highly popular, complex one.)
Lawrence became most famous as an advocate of Baconian theory, to which he was converted after reading 's The Great Cryptogram. He wrote a number of books on the topic, the most notable of which was Bacon is Shake-Speare (1910). He also wrote The Shakespeare Myth (1912), "Macbeth" Proves Bacon is Shakespeare (1913), and Key to Milton's Epitaph on Shakespeare (1914) Durning-Lawrence believed that the key to proving Bacon's authorship was the discovery of cyphers within the plays which were hidden there by Bacon.
