The debate with
regards to the authorship of William Shakespeare’s plays has
become raging for
a long time, but Oxford University Press just produced
an unprecedented move: The publisher will credit
Christopher Marlowe as co-author to
the Bard’s Henry VI plays.
Marlowe was a contemporary of Shakespeare and the writer of plays together with Physician Faustus. A brand new guide, called The brand new Oxford Shakespeare, contains the complete works of Shakespeare, such as Henry VI, Elements I, II, and III. It will be published on Dec. 27.
A single of your editors, Gary Taylor, advised NPR that the choice to credit Marlowe was partly based upon research analyzing the language in the Henry VI plays, but Carol Rutter, a professor of Shakespeare and efficiency scientific studies on the University of Warwick, informed the BBC that she does not imagine the choice is definitive.
“I do not consider [Oxford University Press] placing their brand mark on an attribution settles the situation for many individuals,” she says.
