(1) Apocrypha
Original source with a self-referential hat-tip.
In the records from the era, two plays are lost, having written record but no extant manuscript, Cardenio, and Love’s Labour’s Found.
Shakespeare’s apocrypha and the last couple of plays, clearly show influence and even definitive evidence that the plays ain’t all Shakespeare’s “hand.”
Another oddity, I have a small print version of Edward III, so I must’ve seen it at some point, and its historical significance, yes, probably one of the less popular plays. (The Reign of) Edward II is attributed to Marlowe.
Still good to flesh out the canon.
