A compilation of columns ("A Year in the Life of Shakespeare") originally written by the author for the newsletter Shakespeare Matters from 2001-2005. Written from the Oxfordian point of view (i.e., that Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, was the true Shakespeare), each column concentrated on just one year and discussed the known events in the authors life in conjunction with the recorded history and literature of that year, and the ways in which the plays and poems in the Shakespeare canon may reflect and/or comment on these connections.

"Whittemore strongly champions the Oxfordian argument in this tour de force defense while remaining a highly entertaining writer. A breezy but very intelligent tone is maintained throughout the book; the reader is neither patronized nor boggled by minutiae and jargon. Instead, there is a magnetic sense of history, art, politics, and human nature injected into a smooth and eminently readable storytelling style. It is obvious that the author's research has been painstaking, but the resulting document is more than painless -- it's downright pleasurable." -- "Kirkus Reviews" “An exceptionally lucid and thorough exploration of the arguments supporting J.T. Looney’s controversial theory that the true Shakespeare was the Earl of Oxford. Masterfully organized, the book takes the reader through 100 primary reasons supporting the theory. Whittemore’s long experience studying and writing about the authorship question, and keen eye for problematic fact or surprising but enlightening perspective, is evident throughout.” -- Roger Stritmatter, Ph.D., associate Professor of Humanities at Coppin State University and general editor of Brief Chronicles: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Authorship Studies “If Stratfordians could assemble even a handful of arguments this powerful and this persuasive for Will Shakspere of Stratford as the author of the Bard’s plays and poems, they’d say, ‘Game over. We’ve proved our case.’ But either they can’t, or they haven’t. Or maybe it’s both. Whatever the case, they should buy this book. Hank Whittemore’s brilliant 100 Reasons shows how it’s done.” -- Mark Anderson, author of "Shakespeare" by Another Name “Hank Whittemore is a superb and enlightened scholar whose historical accounts are consistently entertaining, accessible and accurate; his 100 Reasons unlocks the door to a rich garden of truth about William Shakespeare from whence no serious lover of his poems and plays will ever wish to return.” -- Alexander Waugh, author, scholar, critic, composer; Chairman of the De Vere Society of London and Honorary President of the Shakespeare Authorship Coalition “Written with wit, humor, erudition and the instincts of a real working actor, Hank Whittemore’s 100 Reasons bristles with humanity as it seeks to convince readers that the name Shakespeare was simply a pseudonym. Begun as a search by the author for the roots of Shakespeare’s titanic creativity, this extraordinary document becomes a personal narrative of the life of the wild and witty Edward de Vere, the most erudite aristocrat in the court of Queen Elizabeth I. And Whittemore does ultimately convince us that de Vere was the real Shakespeare. A truly original approach to academic research, this forensic examination of centuries-old evidence is well worth the attention of academics and non-academics alike -- Don Rubin, editor of Routledge’s six-volume World Encyclopedia of Contemporary Theatre and former chair of the Department of Theatre at York University, Toronto.

100 Reasons Shake-speare was the Earl of Oxford

Dramas & Plays

All-American boy David Marsh narrates this coming-of-age comedy that finds him desperately trying to survive in a 1950s world of good Catholics, faithful Republicans and affluent suburban commuters. Vivid, bawdy and often frighteningly honest, this timeless tale shatters our notions of “making it” in America and foreshadows the revolution to come in the 1960s. Charged by David’s raw emotional connections to the Brooklyn Dodgers, James Dean and even the tragic angst of Hamlet, Feeling It is a rollicking adventure and a great read for today, when the difference between “making it” and “feeling it” is driving our current political turmoil. Published in 1971 by William Morrow, this debut novel was chosen as a Special Selection of the Literary Guild, a rare accomplishment. Since then generations of readers have praised the fresh candor of the narrator’s voice and its exuberant rhythm. Hitting a little too close to home, the semi-autobiographical novel was banned in some circles of polite society. Hank Whittemore grew up in Larchmont, NY and graduated in 1963 from Notre Dame in Great Books and Theater. A Broadway actor and writer for PARADE magazine, his eleven books include the bestsellers Cop and The Super Cops. His most recent work, a provocative historical-literary perspective on the politically charged nature of Shakespeare’s Sonnets, was also banned in some circles of polite society.

Feeling It

How could William Shaksper of Stratford, who was illiterate, be the author of plays that have dazzled the world for centuries? Answer: he wasn't. His authorship is a remarkably successful hoax.
 It was not until 1920 that J. Thomas Looney plucked Edward de Vere out of historical obscurity and introduced him as the real Shakespeare. In the next fifty years, powerful articles and books validated his authorship claim but much of this evidence has been neglected.
 The first five volumes of this book series salvage this early research which makes Edward de Vere by far the likeliest candidate for being the great playwright, William Shakespeare.
 In Volume One, you'll learn:
 ● Why Shakespeare's breadth of knowledge and intimate familiarity with England's Royal Court exclude Shaksper of Stratford as the true Bard; ● Why Francis Bacon is an unlikely Shakespeare authorship candidate; ● Why Edward de Vere fulfills all criteria to be the great playwright; ● And much more!
 Stop blindly accepting what the textbooks say. Take a logical, analytical approach to one of history's most important questions. Start Building the Case for Edward de Vere as Shakespeare with Volume 1: The Great Shakespeare Hoax.

Shine Forth: Evidence Grows Rapidly In Favor of Edward de Vere as Shakespeare

Few are aware that the true identity of William Shakespeare represents Western Civilization's greatest mystery. Even fewer realize that the commonly accepted authorship by the illiterate William Shaksper of Stratford is a complete hoax manufactured by England's most powerful politicians. This deception survived largely unscathed until 1920 when J. Thomas Looney's brilliant book, "Shakespeare" Identified, plucked Edward de Vere out of historical obscurity and introduced him to the world as the real Shakespeare. Compiled of authoritative essays and compelling book excerpts, the third volume in this groundbreaking series, Shine Forth salvages fascinating, neglected authorship material which repeatedly and convincingly shows that Edward de Vere was the uniquely creative genius who wrote under the coerced pen name of William Shakespeare. Combating the astonishing power of conventional wisdom, de Vereans have steadily built their case through solid research published in journals and books which have been subject to disappearance by the vicissitudes of time-until now.  With an impressive bibliography, well-documented sources, and an unshakeable desire to unearth the truth, this volume represents an historic achievement in the scholarship of Shakespearean studies, and reopens the dialogue on this controversial subject.
