Bequest of Dean Stockett Edmonds
Pequot Library Special Collections
Mr. Edmonds made a significant gift to Pequot Library representing his love of the Library and his passion for Shakespeare. In 1974, Pequot Library took possession of a splendid collection compiled over a lifetime by Edmonds. Dean S. Edmonds was a U.S. patent and intellectual property attorney, who was a trustee of the Shakespeare Oxford Society. The Society, founded in 1957, is a non-profit, educational organization dedicated to exploring the Shakespeare authorship question. The group contends that Edward de Vere, the seventeenth Earl of Oxford (1550-1604) is the true author of the poems and plays of "William Shakespear".
