Roger A. Stritmatter (born 21 October 1958) is an associate professor of Humanities at Coppin State University and the general editor of Brief Chronicles, an open access journal covering the Shakespeare authorship question. He was a founder of the modern Shakespeare Fellowship, an organization that promotes Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, as the true author of the works of William Shakespeare. He is one of the leading modern-day advocates of the Oxfordian theory of Shakespeare authorship, and has been called the "first professional Oxfordian scholar".He was educated at Evergreen State College (B.A., 1981) and the New School for Social Research (M.A., 1988). He also studied at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where in 2001 he was awarded a PhD in comparative literature on the basis of a dissertation that assumed the authorship of Edward de Vere and accepted the work of Oxfordians J. Thomas Looney, B. M. Ward, and Charlton Ogburn, Jr., as sources on a par with peer-reviewed academic scholarship. It comprised a study of 1,043 marked passages found in de Vere's Geneva Bible, which is now owned by the Folger Shakespeare Library. Stritmatter identified 246 of those (23.6 percent) as Shakespearean influences, which is presented as evidence for the Oxfordian theory.In 2007, Stritmatter and writer Lynne Kositsky published a treatise in the Review of English Studies proposing that William Strachey's eyewitness account of the 1609 Sea Venture shipwreck on the island of Bermuda, generally accepted as a source for Shakespeare's The Tempest, was misdated and largely plagiarized, and arguing that sources earlier than Strachey's letter account for Shakespeare's imagery and wording. Alden Vaughan criticized the paper in Shakespeare Quarterly, writing that "Stritmatter and Kositsky's argument and similar critiques of the Strachey-Shakespeare connection are contradicted by the historical and literary evidence." The paper was also rebutted by Tom Reedy in the Review of English Studies, with Reedy reaffirming that the work was composed in 1610. The aforementioned criticisms by both Vaughan and Reedy were rebutted by Stritmatter and Kositsky in their 2009 Brief Chronicles article as well as their 2013 book, On the Date, Sources and Design of Shakespeare's The Tempest.In May 2011, Stritmatter and Lynne Kositsky were guest lecturers at the 1st Ukrainian Shakespeare workshops entitled "Shakespeare Authorship Studies: present-day aspects". Stritmatter was a featured commentator regarding the Shakespeare authorship question in the documentary Last Will & Testament, released October 23, 2012.
