The Authorship of Shakespeare's Play, A Socio-linguistic Study, Hope J., 2006.

This book introduces a new method for determining the authorship of Renaissance plays. Based on the rapid rate of change in English grammar in the late-sixteenth and early-seventeenth centuries, socio-historical linguistic evidence allows us to distinguish the hands of Renaissance playwrights within play texts. The present study focuses on Shakespeare, his collaborations with Fletcher and Middleton, and the apocryphal plays. Among the plays examined are Henry VIII, The Two Noble Kinsmen, Macbeth, Pericles, and Sir Thomas More. Using graphs to present statistical data in a readily comprehensible form, the book also contains a wealth of information about the history of the English language during a period of rapid and far-reaching change.



Authorship studies in the early Modern period.
There is a great number of Elizabethan and Jacobean plays which are either anonymous, wrongly ascribed, or thought to be the work of more than one writer. This situation is a result of the particular context in which early Modern plays were written, acted, and published - and an understanding of this context explains many of the most common authorship problems which arise (Bentley 1971, and Wells et al. 1987:1-68 provide excellent accounts of these issues in more detail than can be given here). Such an understanding can also help in explaining the shortcomings and limitations of much previous authorship work.
