Hmm ...

I guess I'll have to get the book to see how he draws that conclusion. My main interest is history, not literature, and I became interested in this because of the authorship controversy. I've concluded the Oxfordian theory is silly but now I want to know more about the real Shakespeare.
Hamilton, I've learned, has done numerous works on manuscripts and signatures, so at least he has some credentials.
The apocrypha also interest me: why some of these works at times attributed to Shakespeare aren't accepted as such. Or which plays might have been collaborations or revisions. The Two Noble Kinsmen is included in a complete works that I have, but I notice it usually isn't listed in the canon. I've looked around for books that focus on these issues but haven't found any, except Hamilton's which you were kind enough to point out to me. Do you know of any others?
