Philip James WELLER

Great Professor!

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Used Dr Wellers website many times on my studies and for my own students. Genius and one of the greatest scholars on Renaissance literature. The passion and love of Shakespeare in particular inspired many including myself who never met him physically or in even conversation, but understood him through his written advise and insight ! Rest In Peace

I appreciate the website that he made. It is quite helpful. RIP

I'm sorry that the scholarly world has lost Dr. Weller, and more sorry that you who loved him have lost him. I have just used his web site, and intended to write to thank him for it. Let me tell you, instead, that his work lives on, and is useful to other writers. A continuing memorial to a dedicated teacher and scholar. Tom Hanks, Baylor University

I just wanted to say how much myself and my students have benefited from Shakespeare Navigators over the years. I love that site, it's a gem. You have my sympathy. I only noticed today the dates for Dr Weller's lifetime when I was looking up the well-worn Othello Navigator. ' To die, to sleep; To sleep, perchance to dream...'

I, like other educators, love Dr Weller's website and use it every time I teach. I listed myself as a student - I always learnt something new from you. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, your insight, and your deep understanding of Shakespeare. May your family smile at their memories of you.

I didn't know Dr. Weller personally, in fact, I didn't know him at all. The only connection I have is the fact that I use his Shakespeare website quite often in order to survive English class. However, upon realizing that the dates at the top of his website marked his recent death, I decided to find his obituary to see if such a wonderful scholar was really gone. I know that I'm a stranger and most likely my word on his life doesn't matter, but I would like to say thank you. Surprisingly, in...

I had Dr. Weller for my Shakespeare class at EWU in 2019. He was funny, kind, and giving. He brought candy to class all the time, especially lemon heads, because he said they ate lemon candy when watching Shakespeare's plays. So we would eat candy and watch the plays in modern times. He let us play games to learn in class, which was fun and engaging. It was funny that we had to help him with starting the computer every day. He also gave lots of life advice, which was awesome
