Conference Announcement: "Picturing Shakespeare?" An Interdisciplinary Conference November 14-16, 2002 The recent discovery of the "Sanders Portrait" in Canada has intrigued many with the question: is this a portrait of William Shakespeare, painted in 1603? This conference aims to bring together art, theatre and costume historians, paleographers, scientists, genealogists and others who have a stake in this issue, to attempt to answer this question from as many viewpoints as possible. We expect that the portrait will be on display for members of the conference. (In the meantime it can be viewed on the Internet in many websites, such as http://www2.localaccess.com/marlowe/portrait.htm) This conference is jointly sponsored by Records of Early English Drama and the Art Gallery of Ontario. Further announcements will be made when the Conference website is completed. Alan Somerset University of Western Ontario
