We don’t know much about T.L. Adamson, who was a Vice President and member of the Editorial Board of the Shakespeare Fellowship when he penned an article in the 1955 Spring Fellowship Newsletter (page 7), but clearly he had been or was at the time a teacher or professor. His article Shakespeare and Oxford in the lecture room is a delightful read about the joy of showing how the allusions in Shakespeare match so well with the life of Edward de Vere: “It was not long before students were joyously in full cry after topical allusions, and what an exciting and rewarding hunt it all was.”
For those of you who followed the sad demise of Brooke House, formerly known as King’s Place, a residence of Edward de Vere’s, the newsletter tells us “The demolition of Brooke House, Hackney, is now almost complete, despite all efforts to save it on the part of the Shakespeare Fellowship and other societies interested in the preservation of historic buildings.”
