Reading Room - Shakespeare as Collaborator

Jonathan Hope, The Authorship of Shakespeare's Plays (1994) – uses sociolinguistics to help solve some of the questions around the fringes of the canon

Brian Vickers, Shakespeare, Co-Author (2002) – decisive demonstration of the presence of the hands of Peele, Middleton, Wilkins and Fletcher in Titus, Timon, Pericles, Henry VIII and Kinsmen

There are hundreds more fine books on Shakespeare, but anyone who reads The RSC Shakespeare: Complete Works from cover to cover and then devours a reasonable proportion of the above will have earned the right to consider themselves an exceptionally highly informed Shakespearean.
