Biographical History

The Shakspere Club was organized during October 1886 by professors of the University of North Carolina Dept. of English, led by Thomas Hume, Professor of English Language and Literature. Hume served as president of the Club from 1886 until it disbanded upon his retirement in 1907. The initial purpose of the Shakspere Club was to stimulate and guide scholarly studies of Shakespeare and his work. However, the scope of the Club's activities expanded to include comparative studies of dramatic literature and English composition in general. Meetings, conducted as seminars, were held monthly and were devoted to the presentation of papers by members. The Club envisioned publication of its proceedings, but only the 1886-1887 "Journal of the Shakspere Club" appeared.
