By George V. Tudhope

Book Overview

Shakespeare's Monument Originally A Masonic Shrine is a book written by George V. Tudhope that explores the origins and history of Shakespeare's monument in Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. The author argues that the monument, which has long been considered a tribute to Shakespeare's literary achievements, was originally designed as a Masonic shrine. Tudhope delves into the symbolism and iconography of the monument, drawing connections between Masonic symbols and the imagery used in the monument's design.
