 The John Silberrad
  Memorial Lectures

John Silberrad was a generous and long-serving trustee of the Shakespearean Authorship Trust until his death in 2005. In order to honour his work and to ensure that John's contribution is not forgotten, our annual lecture series are dedicated to him.

In November 2006 the Shakespearean Authorship Trust, in collaboration with the Friends of Shakespeare's Globe, inaugurated the John Silberrad Memorial Lectures. Dr William Leahy's lecture was entitled Two Households Both Alike in Dignity: The Authorship Question and Academia ; Charles Beauclerk spoke on Shakespeare's Identity Crisis; Richard Paul Roe delivered a lecture on The Italy in Shakespeare; Stephanie Hopkins Hughes' lecture “Hide Fox and All After” : The Authorship Game - Playing to Win is available to download.
