Complete Reign of King Edward the Third

About the Book

Proudfoot and Bennett remind us that “the authorship of Edward III remains speculative” (89). However, they continue, “The circumstantial case for Shakespeare has sufficient dimensions to be persuasive, especially the relation of Edward III to Shakespeare’s early non-dramatic and dramatic writings” (89). Whether Shakespeare wrote the play is less important, perhaps, than the fact that we have the work and can still appreciate it today.
