Scholars conclude ‘beyond doubt’ that Shakespeare was main author of Edward III

Edward III did not appear in the 1623 first folio collection of Shakespeare’s plays. Loughnane edited it for the 2016 New Oxford Shakespeare: Complete Works, acknowledging that a couple of scenes had probably been written by him, and the play had also appeared in a 2005 volume. Loughnane also co-authored the Canon and Chronology study in the New Oxford Shakespeare: Authorship Companion, which made the case for Shakespeare’s part-authorship...

Rather than attributing particular lines to either author, the study focused on linguistic features and the distribution of certain “marker” words, such as “martial”, which are typically present in Marlowe’s plays and correspondingly atypical in the plays of other dramatists. They also suggest Shakespeare’s authorship of segments, “which may overlap with bits of writing he did not do”, and Marlowe’s authorship of other segments.

The analysis confirms that a speech from the beginning of scene 13 was written by Shakespeare, when a sudden and ominous darkening of the sky causes fear in the French camp, and King Jean says: “A sudden darkness hath defaced the sky …”

The analysis concludes that a speech from the final scene of the play was written by Marlowe: “Great servitor to bloody Mars in arms, / The Frenchman’s terror and his country’s fame.”

The researchers used various forms of computerised linguistic analysis in comparing Edward III with securely attributed works by 10 dramatists active between the late 1580s and the mid-1590s. In one test, 23 segments – “the lion’s share” – were identified as being written by Shakespeare, while nine segments were classified as Marlowe, whose works include Doctor Faustus.

Loughnane said these findings were particularly significant because a 2016 study had found that Marlowe was a co-author of Shakespeare’s three Henry VI plays:

That’s my Mac!

MacDonald P. Jackson is a prominent New Zealand scholar whose stylometric research played a key role in the 2016 New Oxford Shakespeare project. His computer-aided attribution analysis helped substantiate co-authorship claims for plays like the Henry VI series and Pericles. You can read more about his work on Wikipedia or explore his publications via Oxford University Press.

That was after Mac cutaway to work on Night Before Christmas. Good memories. Fun stuff. He was very pleased with the Shakespeare work.
