The New Oxford Shakespeare: Authorship Companion is a text that
challenges the ways in which we attempt to define what we mean by
Shakespeare and his work, and we should expect nothing less from
Taylor and the Oxford Shakespeare. In the present, the text stands
as partly an experimental attempt to affirm an approach to
authorship and partly a traditional updated reference text. Its
greatest measure will of course be its use in the future and the
influence it has on the next phase of Shakespeare editing and
authorship studies.
*Jennifer Young, The English Association*
This is a great book that every Renaissance scholar and student at
all levels needs to read to understand the hidden chaos behind the
seeming certainty in the attributions to an author that has been
perceived as a unified and unshakable entity in British
literature.
*Anna Faktorovich, Pensylvania Literary Journal*
It serves not only as a guide to its readers but as the essential
accompaniment to the other volumes of the New Oxford
Shakespeare
*Heather Hirschfeld, Bulletin of the Comediantes*
The Authorship Companion is a specialists banquet, a garden of
discussion, argument, analysis, interpretation, speculation,
information, and theoretical reflection, equal parts majestic
survey of the state of authorship and deep dives into technical
questions.
*Henry S. Turner, SEL*
