Examining Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford’s Reputation: “Truth is Truth to the End of Reckoning.”

A Zoom Event at the Blue Boar Tavern
April 23, 2016, 8 pm Eastern/5 pm Pacific

“Of very revered reputation, sir,
Of credit infinite, highly beloved,
Second to none that lives here in the city:
His word might bear my wealth at any time.”
—The Comedy of Errors, V.i

Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford’s reputation has endured “slings and arrows” that have sought his ruin in the eyes of history. Some of them may hit true. Most of them do not, and may have been aimed at discrediting the man most likely to have written the extraordinary plays and poems published under the pseudonym, “William Shakespeare”.

Join Blue Boar Tavern regulars Dorothea Dickerman, Alex McNeil, and Phoebe Nir, with Bob Prechter, and the Tavern’s famous bartender, Jonathan Dixon, as they serve up the truth and the lies behind Great Oxford’s reputation. Brought to you on the birth date (and the death date) of William Shaxper of Stratford, April 23, 2026, at 8 pm Eastern/5 pm Pacific.
