Publisher's Synopsis
This collection, "Pseudo-Shakespearian Plays, Volumes 1-5", edited by Karl Warnke and Ludwig Proescholdt, delves into the fascinating world of plays often attributed to, or associated with, William Shakespeare, but of uncertain or contested authorship. Published in 1883, this work offers a comprehensive examination of several dramatic works, providing detailed analysis and scholarly commentary.
These volumes explore the historical context, textual variations, and literary merits of plays that have, at times, been included in the Shakespearean canon. By critically assessing the evidence for and against Shakespeare's authorship, Warnke and Proescholdt contribute to a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding literary attribution and the challenges of establishing authenticity in dramatic literature. This collection remains a valuable resource for Shakespearean scholars and anyone interested in the intriguing question of what truly constitutes a Shakespeare play.
