Talk:Shakespeare apocrypha

message: This article is extremely biased, without any good footnotes or citations. A play that is bad is passed off as some unknown horrible playwright. Shakspeares' are beautiful masterpieces which contain no flaws, therefore, it IS the bard!!! Please cite where the "scholars" came to these conclusions. This is just a ridiculous article that needs to be cleaned up. Somebody help it! For the love of Jehovah!

message: I know that Edward III's inclusion under this category is wrong, because it was attributed to Shakespeare as early as 1656 in a bookseller's catalogue.  In fact, so were Peele's Edward I and Marlowe's Edward II!  I have an edition published by Walter Greg that includes the texts of the four booksellers' catalogues put out during the 1650s and '60s by Archer, Kirkman, etc., and when I have more leisure time later I'll look into it and see what changes/additions can be made here.  But some of those attributions --- and IIRC the booksellers made a lot of them --- were pretty eccentric, and it may be a question of how thorough you want to go in listing everything that's been assigned to Shakespeare at some point.  I mean, should Edward II really have a place here?  The "Shakespeare Apocrypha", properly, is only about 14 or 15 plays.Eupolis 19:31, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: A followup.  I've made some changes to the section on Edward III, in line with what I said earlier.    These catalogues, though they often contribute information later scholars have judged correct, are problematic sometimes, and I do not know whether it is a good idea to add items like Peele's Arraignment of Paris, Marlowe's Edward II, Heywood's Edward IV, Chettle's Hoffman, or Hieronimo, both parts, all of which get assigned to Shakespeare in one or more of them.  I didn't.  Eupolis 16:21, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I recall reading in  a book on the Shakespeare Apocrypha that many of the plays were published in the Third Folio and the Fourth Folio, but this is never mentioned, nor are there articles about either Folio in Wikipedia. ---- Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 21:10, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Abelard and Elois, a Tragedie

message: An IP editor recently  a section titled "A counter-orthodox Shakespeare canon and chronology" to this article. My initial instinct was to remove it outright per the policy on due and undue weight, but on further reflection there may be some kind of argument to be made for keeping parts of it since it does address Shakespeare apocrypha to some extent. The whole table of an alternate chronology for all the plays is too much, and the text is far too focussed on Eric Sams, but perhaps some pruning and copy-editing could reveal a kernel of information relevant to this article? I'd be interested to hear other editors' thoughts on this. --Xover (talk) 17:03, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

message: I'm inclined to just rename the article to the lowercase variant, but since moves are a pest to undo I figure I'd better give other editors a chance to pipe in first. --Xover (talk) 17:54, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
