Next Oberon Meeting-September 24, 2012

By

This is Richard Joyrich, inviting everyone to come to our next Oberon meeting this coming Monday.

We will be meeting at our new location from about 6:30 PM to 9 PM at our new (perhaps temporary) location. This is the same place we met last month, although only four people came. We need to do better this month! 

You may be asking, "Where is this new location?". I can tell you that (it's also on our blog). The location is the Commerce Township Library. The address is 2869 N. Pontiac Trail in Commerce Township, but the library entrance is actually off of East Library Drive, which in turn is off of Martin Parkway, which in turn is off of the roundabout at Pontiac Trail and M-5.

Here's what you should do: 

If you are coming from I-96 or anywhere to the west or south, you should get onto M-5 going north. Then take that all the way north until it "ends" at the roundabout at Pontiac Trail (which is just north of Maple Road). Then go around the roundabout and take the SECOND exit, basically going "straight across" the roundabout in the same direction you were going (north) instead of turning into Pontiac Trail (which nearly everyone else will be doing). IMPORTANT: In order to do this you need to be in the second to last lane on the right.

You will then be on Martin Parkway and you will see the library ahead of you on the right. You then have to follow Martin Parkway to the next roundabout (a much smaller one) and take the first exit to go right on Library Drive (there will be signs for the library at this point). Then you will get to the Library parking lot and the entrance.

You can also get there by being on Pontiac Trail coming from the east or west. Just follow the roundabout at M-5 around until you can go north on Martin Parkway and then follow as above.

This is actually a lot easier to do than it is to write it down, so don't get worried.

It should be a very good meeting. Aside from our eagerly awaited Treasurer's Report (which we couldn't get last month) and our report of our media presence, we are planning to hear from Robin Browne on "WS 1616-1623". I'm not exactly sure what Robin will be talking about, but I know that he has access to some research that no one else has seen. He has been giving us "snippets" of it at previous meetings and it sounds fascinating!

We will also be talking about the upcoming SF/SOS Joint Conference to be held in Pasadena from October 18-21. It is not too late to register for this. Check out the websites for SF (www.shakespearefellowship.org) or SOS (www.shakespeare-oxford.com) for more information.

There are many upcoming local events that we can plan for as well.

Don't miss it!

What's a popp'rin' pear?

By
James Wheaton reported yesterday in the Jackson Citizen Patriot that the Michigan Shakespeare Festival high school tour of Romeo and Juliet was criticized for inappropriate content -- " So me take issue with sexual innuendoes in Michigan Shakespeare Festival’s High School Tour performances of ‘Romeo & Juliet’" : Western [High School] parent Rosie Crowley said she was upset when she heard students laughing about sexual content in the play afterwards. Her son didn’t attend the performance Tuesday because of another commitment, she said.  “I think the theater company should have left out any references that were rated R,” Crowley said. “I would say that I’ve read Shakespeare, and what I was told from the students, I’ve never read anything that bad.”  She said she objected to scenes that involved pelvic thrusting and breast touching and to a line in which Mercutio makes suggestive comments to Romeo after looking up the skirt of a female. The problem with cutting out...

Winkler lights the match

By
by Linda Theil When asked by an interviewer why all the experts disagree with her on the legitimacy of the Shakespeare authorship question, journalist and author Elizabeth Winkler  calmly replied, "You've asked the wrong experts." * With that simple declaration Winkler exploded the topic of Shakespearean authorship forever. Anti-Stratfordians need no smoking gun, no convincing narrative, no reason who, how, when, or why because within the works lies the unassailable argument: Shakespeare's knowledge. Ask the lawyers. Ask the psychologists. Ask the librarians. Ask the historians. Ask the dramaturges. Ask the mathematicians. Ask the Greek scholars. Ask the physicists. Ask the astronomers. Ask the courtiers. Ask the bibliophiles. Ask the Italians. Ask the French. Ask the Russians. Ask the English. Ask everyone. Current academic agreement on a bevy of Shakespearean collaborators springs from an unspoken awareness of how much assistance the Stratfordian presumptive would h...

Dudley nails it to the door

By
Michael Dudley author of The Shakespeare Authorship Question and Philosphy: Knowledge, Rhetoric, Identity (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2023) Michael Dudley views his vocation of librarian at the University of Manitoba with dialectic rigor. "Librarianship has a duty to inform democracy," he said in Kathryn Sharpe's virtual bookclub on April 27, 2024. Dudley discussed his new book The Shakespeare Authorship Question and Philosophy: Knowledge, Rhetoric, Identity published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing last fall. Update 08/21/24 Dudley's book is also available as an ebook from   Google Play . In SAQ and Philosophy Dudley uses the hammer of logic to nail his accusations against the barricaded door of the Shakespeare citadel. "The question of Shakespeare's authorship is a malformed debate practiced in an unethical fashion," Dudley said. When asked why his book is important, Dudley said: "What sets my book apart from others on the authorship quest...
