This book introduces a method for determining the authorship of Renaissance plays by examining the rapid rate of change in English grammar in the late sixteenth- and early-seventeenth centuries. The present study focuses on Shakespeare: his collaborations with Fletcher and Middleton; and the apocryphal plays. Among the plays examined are Henry VIII, The Two Noble Kinsmen, Macbeth, Pericles and Sir Thomas More.
