The Shakespeare Fellowship

The Shakespeare Fellowship

Two organizations by this name, both devoted to the study of the Shakespeare authorship question, have existed. The first was founded in England in 1921 by J.Thomas Looney, Sir George Greenwood, and others. It maintained worldwide membership, chiefly in the U.S. and the United states. During the 1940s the American chapter, under the patronage of Eva Turner Clarke, published the Shakespeare Fellowship Newsletter (1939-1943) and The Shakespeare Fellowship Quarterly (1944-1948). In the United States, the organization was superseded in 1957 by The Shakespeare Oxford Society. Then, in 2000 the Shakespeare Fellowship was revived in the United States by independent scholars committed to the continued exploration of the authorship question in light of the outstanding anomalies and literary and historical problems of the Shakespearean age. The group publishes a quarterly journal, Shakespeare Matters, maintains an active website, and sponsors an annual essay contest on the Shakespearean question.
