We are excited to welcome Robert Prechter as our May 14 speaker for the Shakespeare Authorship Roundtable. Mr. Prechter is known for his work in financial prediction using the Elliott Wave Theory, but that will not be the subject of his May talk.

“Who Wrote George Peele’s ‘Only Extant Letter’?” is the subject that interests Mr. Prechter immensely. We can’t wait to find out why and also to examine in more detail this personal correspondence to discover clues that relate to the authorship question. George Peele was the 9th Earl of Northumberland and one of the University Wits; a writer associated with Shakespeare.

George Peele is one of many topics in Robert Prechter’s new 24 volume digital book called Shakespeare’s Voices which proposes that many publications from the era were actually written by Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, under other people’s names.

Additional reading on the subject of George Peele and Renaissance Drama can be found in, The Predecessors of Shakespeare: A Survey and Bibliography, Recent Studies in English Renaissance Drama. (1973)

For more information on the life and work of George Peele, take a look at the recent book by David Bevington called George Peele (2017)
