Free Ebook Hidden In Plain SightBy Peter Rush
This book is dedicated to Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, who was the playwright and poet we know as “Shakespeare,” one of the most accomplished, and tragic, figures in human history, who, by an improbable turn of events, was destined to die unrecognized as the flesh- and-blood person behind the “Shakespeare” pseudonym. He tells us in his Sonnets that "my name be buried where my body is," but he also tells us in these very same Sonnets his own true story, a story of how one of the greatest men in world history wound up dispossessed of his life's work and erased from history. It is a story told indirectly and subrosa, in a unique coded language. But it is there, and it is amazing.

About the Author Peter Rush is a professional analyst in the field of information technology, with a lifelong passion for history. He graduated Swarthmore College in 1969 and earned a Masters in History from the University of Michigan in 1973. He was drawn to the Shakespeare Authorship issue sixteen years ago because of his commitment to employing evidence-based methodologies to contentious issues and his interest in historical research. Since then, he has immersed himself in the controversy, including writing several newsletter articles and reviews for organizations involved in the Shakespeare authorship issue. He has also conducted extensive research on the Sonnets because, following the breakthrough discoveries of Hank Whittemore on the structure and meaning of the Sonnets, he believed that the Sonnets might hold vital clues that could finally resolve the controversy once and for all.

Ray Peter Rush’s 'Hidden In Plain Sight' is a significant publishing event in the history of modern Shakespeare Studies. The study provides the first closely reasoned rebuttal to what mainstream scholars have mistakenly assumed the Sonnets were and meant, i.e., a lovelorn diarist poet infatuated with a youth. In place of that cliche, Rush explicates the circumstances of the Essex Rebellion as first theorized by Hank Whittemore, author of 'The Monument'.Four respected critics of SHAKE-SPEARES SONNETS with whom Rush takes issue, all universally praised in the periodical press as profound and insightful thinkers, are shown to be incompetent at explaining the subject of the poems. The simple reason is that neither they nor modern History have ever known the crucible of historical events from which the Sonnets emerged.On the contrary, they could only speculate what these world-famous words meant if written by a Warwickshire countryman. Unfortunately nothing fit. Identifying “Shakespeare” with the Stratford Miracle Myth is a Shakespeare-industry-wide mistake, one intentionally insinuated into the First Folio front matter. Its purpose, achieved mainly through the clever language of Ben Jonson, was to avoid destabilizing political effects while ushering the Shakespeare dramatic works into permanent print-based reality.Lacking these backroom elements of an accurate and connected History, Shakespeare Studies has been invited into the hopeless stance of applying critical generalities, abstractions that evaporate overnight into nothing, like Narcissus’ fleeting image in the pool of water.But intellectuals are not entitled to profess nothings.Providing the missing historical context, Rush's book places the Sonnets in its correct frame: repressive Elizabethan England, specifically the Essex Rebellion of 1601.To the point. According to Rush’s research, the bastard son of Elizabeth I, Henry Wriothesley, 3rd Earl of Southampton, took part in actions judged to be a state rebellion. He was tried and sentenced to die––with his own father, Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, leading the Queen’s jury. de Vere was revered as the author of the foundational Narrative of the English State, later to be known as Shakespeare’s Histories. The political crisis became recorded, through the Sonnets' art, as a live depiction of the father's, de Vere's, personal anguish and agony, without names, just allusions to the principals of a vanishing Kingship.The Sonnets, which as fragmentary verse we can only label ‘high poetry’, chronologically seize in amber the political tragedy of father and son. The third member of the family triangle appears to have been Elizabeth I, the outwardly Virgin Queen. In short, SHAKE-SPEARES SONNETS was and remains political dynamite. Only thirteen copies survived. Accordingly, they were minimized since the later Jacobean era as romantic rhyme.That this summary sounds like fiction is owing to our official history being the result of selectively destroyed documents. This was most probably the work of Robert Cecil, the younger First Secretary to the Queen, de Vere's hostile brother-in-law. The ensuing informational vacuum over time has choked off anything like accurate memory of the events and participants surrounding the Sonnets. The language however remains forever through the permanence of print.The official eclipse of the primary political problem, de Vere, Southampton's father, followed by the eventual poisoning of Southampton his son––and his grandson James, eliminated the Tudor bloodline and buttressed the Stewart dynasty for a few decades. The unwritten underbelly saga is today’s incipient early modern English History, at last on the verge of widespread understanding in the Western World. All readers will then appreciate the poetry as a cohesive cycle, not a somewhat puzzling text containing several universal sonnets.The eyewitness text has always been available, just never rightly comprehended. Rush’s primer serves as an invaluable translator of the poems, heretofore covert, but now readable in the person of the necessarily pseudonymous “Shakespeare”.Peter Rush honors the first investigator into the explosive political circumstances behind the verses, Hank Whittemore. But his book stands on its own as a detailed and accessible path to the historical and tragically poetical truth of that time. It is considerably shorter and more of a story than Whittemore's huge scholarly text.An indication to me of the quality of the book is that I found no typographical errors over 382 pages. The appendices are also extremely helpful. Appendix I summarizes the Stratford narrative and its failings, basically a catch-all of suppositions peddled for centuries as fact. Appendix II encapsulates the life and work of Oxford the literary genius for those with no background knowledge of the time. Appendix III is Hank Whittemore’s essay about the “other” Shakespeare poems which are virtually ignored in the discussions of the authorship question. The 'other' works are intimately tied to Elizabeth and Southampton.Appendix IV, Whittemore’s “Southampton’s Tower Poem” essay, deserves widespread publication. Included here as background, it substantiates that Southampton and Oxford were in close contact while the young Earl was imprisoned. The proof is in the comparative reading. The language Southampton used to plead to Elizabeth for his life during the Essex Rebellion parallels what must have been the unpublished, utterly loyal, Sonnets. Appendix V contains Rush’s Theorems, listing the cardinal points of the historical analysis. Appendix VI is a useful index to the Sonnet discussions.In all, the book represents a labor of love and of conscience, a harbinger of future historically related Shakespeare scholarship.

Input from a many-years, died-in-the-wool Stratfordian By Uncle Ruddy This is a very thoughtfully written, erudite and readable book which I recommend everyone with any interest at all in the Shakespeare authorship question should read. Over the past 15 years I have read many books covering many opinions, starting with Looney and proceeding through Ogburn, Price, Roe, Whittemore (and that is just for the Oxfordians), Edmondson, Wells, etc, etc. Rush has done a masterful, very readable job in making Whittemore's brilliant and thorough research come alive and be accessible to everyone, while at the same time adding his own excellent research to the many points he addresses.For those who have already read Whittemore or done other research on the issue, the book, for me, really took off staring with Chapter 12' "Reprieve By Misprision" and it just kept getting better. Having shed the conventional wisdom of my Stratfordian beliefs probably 10 years or so ago, at 70 I am a confirmed Oxfordian and a firm believer, now more than ever having read Rush's excellent work, in the Prince Tudor theory.While my analogy is not perfect, I have come around to feel that believing that the Stratford man could write the canon is like believing Sam Walton could have written "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof."
8 of 11 people found the following review helpful. The truth has been hiding in plain sight and Nothing is Truer than Truth. By Christopher Plummer With 'Hidden In Plain Sight', Peter Rush takes up the mantle from the incomparable Hank Whittemore, as he further decodes Shake-Speare's sonnets. Though it seemed an impossible and somewhat futile task, due to the exhaustive and unparalleled research from Whittemore, the very Monument that Whittemore has created has lead Rush to press on, deeper into the forest of lies in order to save us all from them. Untangling the carefully woven vines of deception that have held us back from the truth for far, far too long, Rush, like Whittemore before him, has forged ahead and reinforced the conclusions made by Whittemore and taken great strides forward in solidifying the true meanings of the sonnets and their raison d'etre. Both Whittemore and Rush are now responsible for gently guiding us to stare into the dazzlingly colorful mosaic of the sonnets and whispering the simple trick to make our eyes adjust, revealing their true intention, the incredible mind that conceived of them and the tornado of blissful pain that surrounded their birth. Whether you believe that one person created the plays of William Shake-Speare or not, the sonnets are, without doubt, the work of a single mind and the breadcrumbs have finally lead us from the dark forest and to the feet of Edward De Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford.
