Summary

In this final, coda-like chapter on the lost Shakespeare Apocrypha, I turn to authorship attribution but harness the insights from repertory studies (rather than stylometric analysis, which cannot be applied in the absence of play-texts), in a bid to understand why it once seemed reasonable (to some at least) that half a dozen plays written after Shakespeare’s death were attributed to him, and what these plays can teach us about Shakespeare’s posthumous reputation.
