It is perhaps the greatest story never told: the truth behind
the most-enduring works of literature in the English language,
perhaps in any language. Who was the man behind Hamlet? What
passion inspired the sonnets, whose words were so powerful that
“not marble, nor the gilded monuments Of princes, shall outlive
this powerful rhyme"? In Shakespeare’s Lost Kingdom, critically
acclaimed historian Charles Beauclerk pulls off an astounding feat,
humanizing the Bard who for centuries has remained beyond our
grasp.
Beauclerk has spent more than two decades researching the
authorship question, and if the plays were discovered today, he
argues, we would see them for what they are--shocking political
works written by a court insider, someone with the monarch''s
indulgence, shielded from repression in an unstable time of armada
and reformation. But the author''s identity was quickly swept under
the rug after his death. The official history--of an uneducated
merchant writing in near obscurity, and of a virginal queen married
to her country--dominated for centuries. Shakespeare''s Lost Kingdom
delves deep into the conflicts and personalities of Elizabethan
England, as well as the plays themselves, to tell the true story of
the "Soul of the Age."
