Shakespearean Collections at Brunel University Library

March 17, 2011

The De Vere Society and the Shakespearean Authorship Trust have donated their collections on long-term loan to Brunel University. The Shakespearean Collections also contain a small selection of materials which belonged to Edward Holmes and were donated by his wife, Jean. The Collections of materials include books, plays, poetry, journals, and ephemera written by and about Shakespeare and his time. Some of the items are very rare. Brunel University Library is now making these materials accessible to the public.

Whilst some of the materials are accessible in the main section of the Library, most are located in the Special Collections room and may be consulted by appointment only. The materials are for reference use only.
