请问这句句子的主语是哪个啊？

But that I knew it over twenty-five years ago — that I knew it while ** was being rejected by twelve publishers, some of whom decleared that it was "too intellectual", "too controversial" and would not sell because no audience existed for it — that was the difficult part of its history; difficult for me to bear.

红色部分的三个主语是指同一件事吗？这句句子的主语是什么呢？谢谢

前面两个that分别引导了一个主语从句的从句部分（和was the diffcult part of its history构成主语从句），第三个that复指前面的两个从句（部分）。

% U7 X' H5 u& t! ]大神，我这样问是因为之前那句句子也是两个that从句开头的，就没加第三个that,这里却加了。那照前面那句句子的结构，这里不加算不算错呢？就是破折号后可以直接加谓语和前面的两个that从句连起来吗？谢谢

请注意第一个单词but， but that是一个短语，我觉得在这句子中but that是个副词短语，要不是，除非。句子应该是这个结构 but that.... that...that，每个that后面是一个独立从句，所以没有所谓的整个句子的主语。
