(184) Shakespeare and the desperate unifications of SF with SOS to SOF

Why the necessity of  the "Shakespeare Fellowship ( S F )" to unify with "S O S" 

to " S O F " (Shakespeare-Oxford-Fellowship)? 


the main reasons for the unification of 2 separate Shakespeare-Oxford organisations must have been the remarkable  decline of interest in the SF Website and Forum over the last years?




        




Two long standing organizations, the Shakespeare Fellowship (SF) and the Shakespeare Oxford Society (SOS) have unified  2013 under the new name

                                     Shakespeare Oxford Fellowship (SOF)

The Shakespeare Fellowship (SF) at  first  was  devoted to the study of the Shakespeare authorship not endorsing any particular candidate.  SF was founded in England in 1921 by J. Thomas Looney and Sir George Greenwood a prominent "
anti-Stratfordian" who had never declared his support for any particular alternative author.
Unfortunately after Greenwoods death (1628) the SF became somewhat inevitably totally  identified with Oxfordian theory: promoting Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford as the sole  true author of the works of Shakespeare.

The main reasons for the unification of 2 separate Shakespeare-Oxford organisations – I suppose- was the remarkable dramatic  decline of interest in the SF Website and Forum over the last decades.

Todays last comprehensive candidate-neutral  authorship website and  resource has become 

        The Shakespearean Authorship Trust      (SAT)
