- Dr. Michael Delahoyde recounts the alchemical process of editing Twelfth Night from an Oxfordian perspective and the discoveries made during that microscopically detailed endeavor. He explicates the significance of select details, from the enigmatic initials “M.O.A.I.” in the letter gulling Malvolio (a letter that has always baffled scholars), to the deceptively dismissive phrase, “that’s all one.”
Biography: Michael Delahoyde has B.A.s in both English and Music from Vassar College, and an M.A. and a Ph.D. in English from the University of Michigan. He has taught at Washington State University for more than 30 years, where he has offered courses on Shakespeare, Chaucer, and Popular Culture. He was awarded grants by the SOF to research de Vere’s time in Italy. A regular presenter at SOF conferences, he is also an outstanding pianist. His autobiographical song is available online (michaeldelahoyde.org/about).
This talk was presented at the Shakespeare Oxford Fellowship 2021 Annual Conference on Saturday, October 9, 2021, live over Zoom.

Twelfth Night was the first of Shakespeare's play I'd read since high school and after discovering the authorship question. You have added much to my understanding, although I read Goddard and others before jumping in. An interest in the metaphysical long preceded my re-discovery of Shakespeare, so I appreciate your comments on Dee's influence and Perennial Philosophy. Thanks for a great presentation. Cynthia
Brilliant delivery, fascinating content, thankyou.
Olivia in one circle, Orsino in the other, where the circles come together, the "fish" -- that's where the fun stuff happens.
Inspiring stuff! Thanks
The Scarecrow (in the Wizard of Oz) does not get his brain out of a bag. He uses his brain throughout that story. He's had a brain all along, in reality, and that's what he realizes in the end.
The dude in the white coat is John de Vere, Edward’s father.
Twelfth Night refers to the night before Epiphany which commemorates the THREE magi, or wise men, NOT three kings, honoring the baby Jesus. It is the finale of the 12 Holy Nights (not the 12 days of Christmas) which is part of esoteric Christianity. The 12 Holy Nights is when esotericists prepare for the coming year by getting better control over their lower selves, hence, the references to "surfeit."
There is no reference to the number of wise men. It just says wise men came bearing gifts.
Perhaps the ñame 12th night refers to the Numbers of nights Edward siento with Elizabeth
The secret marriage..... Was it to Canterbury?
