There are several "authoritative" biographers who usually do not agree with one another.

Dr. Raymond Bernard's book "The Great Secret – St. Germain" is biographical and covers the many aspects of the Counts life including his connection or being Sir Francis Bacon and the author of the Shakespeare Plays. Manley P. Hall in his "Secret Teachings of All Ages", describes some of the same attributes as Dr. Bernard, including the writings of Shakespeare being from a great adept like Francis Bacon.
