For Real?: Shakespeare’s Uncredited Play

According to this article, a plagiarism program called “Pl@giarism” has revealed that Shakespeare co-authored a 1595 play with Thomas Kyd (English dramatist) entitled “The Reign of King Edward III”, for which the Bard was never credited.

Sir Brian Vickers, a Shakespearean scholar, says phrasing found in Edward III matches phrasing found in Shakespeare’s early works in a manner that leads him to the definitive conclusion that Shakespeare assisted in the penning of the play.

I think it’s an interesting suggestion. Though a part of me is more inclined to question Shakespearean authorship than contribute to it.
