On Saturday, July 23rd from 1-2pm in the Kingsley Room of the Southbury Public Library, author Mark Anderson presents his epic biography of Elizabethan poet-playwright Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, arguing that the Earl of Oxford was the true author of the plays attributed to William Shakespeare. Weaving together a wealth of evidence uncovered in more than ten years of research, the book brings to life the colorful figure of Edward de Vere, and asserts de Vere was, in fact, "Shakespeare."
