Alexander Waugh (1963-2024)
In Memoriam
We are immensely sad to announce the death of our distinguished colleague Alexander Waugh, an indefatigable researcher and promotor of the Authorship Question, as well as a charismatic, funny, iconoclastic presenter at many SAT conferences.
Alexander's knowledge of Latin, Greek, music, literature and maths made him a prodigiously successful debunker of the Stratford myth. His YouTube channel explaining his research has received over a million views, while his chairmanship of the De Vere Society since 2016 steered it into many new discoveries. His keynote speech at the First Folio conference (jointly with the De Vere Society) at the Charterhouse last autumn, brought the audience to their feet. The chapter on him in Elizabeth Winkler's recent book Shakespeare Was a Woman shows just how endearing a man he was to all who knew him - and how persuasive he could be in championing the cause of Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, as the true author of Shakespeare's works. He will be hugely missed.

Alexander was a huge inspiration on many who remain to carry forward his inquiry. Thank you for the lovely memorial.
A beautiful tribute - thank you Annabel. Deepest condolences to Alexander's family, friends, and colleagues at the DVS.
