Shakespeare Authorship and the Canon:
 an international conference

On the weekend of October 20-21, 2000, scholars will gather at The
Robert Gill Theatre at the University of Toronto for an international
conference.  The focus of the conference is Shakespeare; but not the
bard of the generally accepted canon.

Since the dawn of Shakespearean scholarship, the authorship of certain
Elizabethan plays has been in question. This conference will deal with
various open questions concerning texts connected in one way or other
with the name of Shakespeare, offering an opportunity to explore textual
and theatrical issues with an unusually broad scope.  A production of
KING EDWARD III (which was recently published by The New Cambridge
Shakespeare) will be presented in conjunction with the conference. This
will be the North American premiere production of the most recent play
to be attributed to the Elizabethan master poet.

These prominent international scholars are scheduled to speak:

 John H. Astington (U. of Toronto)
 Alan Dessen (U. of North Carolina)
 John Jowett (Shakespeare Institute)
 Alexander Leggatt (U. of Toronto)
 Jill Levenson (U. of Toronto)
 Randall Martin (U. of New Brunswick)
 Richard Proudfoot (King's College, U. of London)
 Ann Thompson (King's College, U. of  London)
 Leslie Thomson (U. of Toronto)
 Paul Werstine (U. of Western Ontario)
 Paul Yachnin (U. of British Columbia)
