Shakespeare Authorship Roundtable presentation
CORAMBIS:‘Be thou familiar, but no means vulgar . . .’”
1603 Hamlet, I.iii
Whether called “Corambis” in the 1603 First Quarto of Hamlet or “Polonius” in the 1604 Second Quarto, we recognize this caricature is of William Cecil, Lord Burghley, Queen Elizabeth I’s Lord High Treasurer, Secretary of State and Master of the Court of Wards.
But, what’s in a name and why does history teach never to trust a Cecil?
Join Dorothea Dickerman in an event sponsored by the Shakespeare Authorship Roundtable on Saturday, February 22 at 2:00 pm Eastern time/11 am Pacific time, as she takes a deep dive into the character of Lord Burghley. Discover the hidden side of “the master strategist of the Elizabethan Age” and why knowing more about Burghley sheds light on the identity of the author known as “William Shakespeare.”
