This companion volume to The New Oxford Shakespeare: The Complete
Works concentrates on the issues of canon and chronology-currently
the most active and controversial debates in the field of
Shakespeare editing. It presents in full the evidence behind the
choices made in The Complete Works about which works Shakespeare
wrote, in whole or part. A major new contribution to attribution
studies, the Authorship Companion illuminates the work and
methodology underpinning the groundbreaking New Oxford Shakespeare,
and casts new light on the professional working practices, and
creative endeavours, of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. We now
know that Shakespeare collaborated with his literary and dramatic
contemporaries, and that others adapted his works before they
reached printed publication. The Authorship Companion's essays
explore and explain these processes, laying out everything we
currently know about the works' authorship. Using a variety of
different attribution methods, The New Oxford Shakespeare has
confirmed the presence of other writers' hands in plays that until
recently were thought to be Shakespeare's solo work. Taking this
process further with meticulous, fresh scholarship, essays in the
Authorship Companion show why we must now add new plays to the
accepted Shakespeare canon and reattribute certain parts of
familiar Shakespeare plays to other writers. The technical
arguments for these decisions about Shakespeare's creativity are
carefully laid out in language that anyone interested in the topic
can understand. The latest methods for authorship attribution are
explained in simple but accurate terms and all the linguistic data
on which the conclusions are based is provided. The New Oxford
Shakespeare consists of four interconnected publications: the
Modern Critical Edition (with modern spelling), the Critical
Reference Edition (with original spelling), a companion volume on
Authorship, and an online version integrating all of this material
on OUP's high-powered scholarly editions platform. Together, they
provide the perfect resource for the future of Shakespeare studies.
