"I believe THE MONUMENT will create a new and deeply enriching experience of what 'Shakespeare' wanted us to know about his life; that correctly understanding the Sonnets will generate an exciting new era of appreciation for his magnificent poems, plays and sonnets, especially in our schools, colleges and universities; and finally that the world itself will benefit from this new insight into Shakespeare's painful and heartbreaking cries of love and truth, which are needed more now than ever!"

                                           Thanks and best wishes!

                                      THE MONUMENT Hank Whittemore

 

                                   COMPLETE EDITION               HARDCOVER

                   ALL 154 SONNETS SET FORTH               ISBN: 0-9665564-5-3

                   WITHIN HISTORICAL CONTEXT              930 PAGES

 

Now, for the first time, Shakespeare's Sonnets are set forth within the context of contemporary Elizabethan history -- focused specifically on the 1601-1603 time period following the Essex Rebellion, which had been aimed at removing Robert Cecil from his power behind the throne of Queen Elizabeth I of England.

 

THE MONUMENT demonstrates how the Sonnets contain a dramatic personal and political story leading to the death of Queen Elizabeth I of England and the end of her Tudor Rose dynasty.  Now

each 14-line verse springs to life with new clarity, meaning and emotional content. 

 

This is Shakespeare's own drama -- the truth he wanted the world to know about his life.  As Hamlet pleaded with his friend:

 

Horatio, I am dead;

Thou liv'st.  Report me and my cause aright

To the unsatisfied...

O good Horatio, what a wounded name!

Things standing thus unknown shall live behind me!

If thou didst ever hold me in thy heart,

Absent thee from felicity awhile,

And in this harsh world draw thy breath in pain

To tell my story...
