Many plays have borne the signature of William Shakespeare-but not all of them were actually written by him. This volume collects all of those plays attributed to the Bard at one time or another that scholars today reject. It provides accurate, complete texts, with critical and supplementary matter by Shakespearean scholar C.F. Tucker Brooke. Still performed, studied, and enjoyed, this is a delicious feast of frauds. Originally published in 1908, now back in print after nearly forty years.
This collection takes its title from 'Romeo and Juliet' (4.1.21.) when, meeting Paris in Friar Lawrence's cell, Juliet muses, What must be shall be, and the Friar completes her line with, That's a certain text. Where text means a received truth both Friar Lawrence and Clayton are interested skeptics. This essays gathered here reflect this attitude, questioning received ideas about the activities to which Clayton has devoted his professional life- literary editing and the close reading of literary works.
During the Elizabethan Age and for the following hundred and fifty years, such figures as Shakespeare and Jonson, Milton and Pope dominated the English literary scene. But what was the vast majority of society really watching, reading and singing? This pioneering anthology, set in two volumes, attempts to answer this question by offering a wide selection of material, ranging from broadside ballads and drolls to witch trial reports and political newsbooks.
