SAT Conference 2012
Sunday 18 November

The Shakespearean Authorship Trust, in collaboration with Brunel University London, presents:

Shakespeare and the Mysteries

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

What are the implications for the Authorship Question of Shakespeare’s profound knowledge of Renaissance Neoplatonic and Hermetic traditions? These are present not only in pointed allusions to alchemy, astrology, and magic, to Paracelsian medicine, the Platonic ascent of the soul, and the Music of the Spheres, but also in the initiatic patterns of transformation and rebirth which inform the deep structure of his dramas.

Speakers:
Ros Barber (author, The Marlowe Papers)
Julia Cleave (Trustee of the SAT)
Peter Dawkins (author, The Shakespeare Enigma)
Mark Rylance (Chairman of the SAT)
Susan Sheridan (playwright, The Merry Wife of Wilton)
Earl Showerman (President of the Shakespeare Fellowship)
Claire van Kampen (Shakespeare’s Globe Special Advisor on Early Modern Music)
