We
are pleased to announce that our Spring 2010 meeting will
be held at Queens' College Cambridge which was where, in October
1558, Edward de Vere began his university education.
We
have yet to finalise the full programme for the day, but we
can confirm the following:
- Patrick
O'Brien to welcome us to his college where he performed
in Shakespearean Comedy
- A
tour of Queens' College Library with a chance to see some
of the college where Edward de Vere matriculated.
- Professor
Michael Egan, the recently appointed editor of the Oxfordian
talking about Thomas of Woodstock a play by Shakespeare
in Manuscript
- Lee
Tudor-Pole on The Statute of Apparel; who could wear what
in Elizabethan England
- Kevin
Gilvary on why Shakespeare's earliest quarto, The First
Part of the Contention, probably dates to the 1570s

These will not be provided by the DVS. Tea, coffee and snacks
are available in the Grads cafeteria on the second floor of
the Hicks Room and lunch is available at very reasonable prices
in the Main Hall dining room just upstairs from the Hicks
