Roger Stritmatter previews an Oxfordian analysis of Antony and Cleopatra forthcoming in Critical Survey (summer 2022).

Critical Survey is a peer-reviewed journal edited by Professor Graham Holderness at the University of Hertfordshire. The editorial board includes Michael Bristol, Leah Marcus, and Anabel Patterson, not to mention both Sir Stanley Wells of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust and Sir Derek Jacobi, a leading Oxfordian and one of the most distinguished Shakespeare actors of the 21st century.

Critical Survey was originally founded by C.B. Cox and A.E. Dyson in 1962 as a sister journal to Critical Quarterly and subsequently edited for many years by Bryan Loughrey, whom Holderness describes in a recent memorial as a “mover and shaker” who “rattled cages, fluttered dove-cotes and set cats among pigeons. . . a true radical” who “questioned everything, right down to the roots of his own assumptions.”

The video previews an Oxfordian analysis of Antony and Cleopatra, written by myself and my wife Shelly Maycock, that is forthcoming in the special issue on the Roman plays (34:3) of Critical Survey.
