“Your own handwriting would tell you what I think.”
– Comedy of Errors
Despite 400 years of searching, no letters, manuscripts, plays, poems, notes or marginalia exist in Will of Stratford’s handwriting, much less any proof that his hand penned Shakespeare’s plays. But does Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford’s handwriting tie him to the works of the Bard?
Our intrepid Blue Boar Tavern regulars Bonner Cutting, Dorothea Dickerman, Alex McNeil, and musical bartender Jonathan Dixon welcome Professor Roger Stritmatter to share a pint and discuss Oxford’s marginalia in his Geneva Bible and astonishing recent discoveries in the library at Audley End, a key stop during Elizabeth I’s Summer Progress of 1578.
