It presents in full the evidence behind the choices made in \u003cem\u003eThe Complete Works\u003c\/em\u003e about which works Shakespeare wrote, in whole or part. A major new contribution to attribution studies, the\u003cem\u003e Authorship Companion\u003c\/em\u003e illuminates the work and methodology underpinning the groundbreaking \u003cem\u003eNew Oxford Shakespeare\u003c\/em\u003e and casts new light on the professional working practices, and creative endeavors, 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 \u003cem\u003eAuthorship Companion\u003c\/em\u003e's essays explore and explain these processes, laying out everything we currently know about the works' authorship. Using a variety of different attribution methods, \u003cem\u003eThe New Oxford Shakespeare\u003c\/em\u003e 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 \u003cem\u003eAuthorship Companion\u003c\/em\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe New Oxford Shakespeare\u003c\/em\u003e consists of four interconnected publications: the \u003cem\u003eModern Critical Edition\u003c\/em\u003e (with modern spelling), the \u003cem\u003eCritical Reference Edition \u003c\/em\u003e(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.
