Becoming Oxfordian – A Video Series

Every Oxfordian has a story.

A moment of curiosity. A question that wouldn’t go away. A discovery that changed how they read Shakespeare.

In this series, members and readers share how they first encountered the Shakespeare Authorship Question, and what led them to believe that Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, was the true author.

We invite members to share their own journey: how did you first encounter the Shakespeare Authorship Question, and what sparked your path to becoming an Oxfordian?

If you would like to share your story, we would be delighted to hear from you. Your video doesn’t need to be professionally produced a short 3–4 minute recording on your phone is absolutely fine. What matters most is your perspective: what first sparked your curiosity, what convinced you, and why the authorship question matters to you.

Please send your entries to substack@deveresociety.co.uk by 30 April. The winning entry will receive a limited edition Great Oxford box set.
