The size and content of the Shakespeare canon have come into
question in recent years, as scholars add plays or declare others
only partially his work. Now, new literary and historical evidence
demonstrates that five heretofore anonymous plays published or
performed during his lifetime are actually his first versions of
later canonical plays, and rightfully belong in the Shakespeare
canon. Three histories, The Famous Victories of Henry the Fifth,
The True Tragedy of Richard the Third, and The Troublesome Reign of
John; a comedy, The Taming of a Shrew and a romance, King Leir, are
products of Shakespeare's juvenile years. Later in his career, he
transformed them into the plays in the canon that bear nearly
identical titles. Each of them is strikingly similar to its
canonical counterpart in terms of structure, plot and cast. But the
verse in each of them has been entirely rewritten. However,
virtually all scholars, critics and editors of Shakespeare have
overlooked, disputed or disparaged the idea that he had anything to
do with them. This addition of five plays to the Shakespeare canon
introduces a new facet to the authorship debate, and supplies
further evidence that the real Shakespeare was Edward de Vere,
seventeenth Earl of Oxford.
