In this 2009 book Craig, Kinney and their collaborators confront
the main unsolved mysteries in Shakespeare's canon through computer
analysis of Shakespeare's and other writers' styles. In some cases
their analysis confirms the current scholarly consensus, bringing
long-standing questions to something like a final resolution. In
other areas the book provides more surprising conclusions: that
Shakespeare wrote the 1602 additions to The Spanish Tragedy, for
example, and that Marlowe along with Shakespeare was a collaborator
on Henry VI, Parts 1 and 2. The methods used are more
wholeheartedly statistical, and computationally more intensive,
than any that have yet been applied to Shakespeare studies. The
book also reveals how word patterns help create a characteristic
personal style. In tackling traditional problems with the aid of
the processing power of the computer, harnessed through computer
science, and drawing upon large amounts of data, the book is an
exemplar of the new domain of digital humanities.
