Shakespeare: The Reformation in the Form of Plays

William Shakespeare started something in 1623. Hamlet and Othello are works of existentialism. "To be, or not to be" is a question of existence and "I hate the Moor" is born of existentialism. French philosophers invented the creed of existentialism in 1945 but I was finding it in Shakespeares plays. I looked for his inspiration. I traced the creed back to Catherine Parr, Queen of England and Ireland. Henry VIII's sixth wife was the world's first existentialist. The creed can be traced back to the summer of 1546 and Hampton Court Palace.

Elizabeth Tudor is the link between Parr and Shakespeare. The Reformation was a time of turmoil between Catholics and the new Protestants. Queen Elizabeth kept England on an even keel, it was quite an achievement. Shakespeare recorded what Elizabeth's Reformation was all about.

This book will give readers a new appreciation of three incredible individuals who between them laid the foundations for a new England. They founded it on existentialism.
