Editing Bibliography

== Getting started ==

Readers interested in authorship attribution may understandably find the sheer quantity of scholarship on the subject intimidating. For an engaging introduction to attribution study – its history, principles, and methods – written for the non-specialist reader, the general editors recommend Harold Love's ''Attributing Authorship: An Introduction'' (Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 2002). 

For an overview of the history of attribution studies of Shakespeare and early modern drama, see Gabriel Egan's chapter, 'A History of Shakespearean Authorship Attribution', in ''The New Oxford Shakespeare: Authorship Companion'', ed. by Gary Taylor and Gabriel Egan (Oxford UP, 2017), pp. 27–47. For a primer in Shakespeare authorship attribution, see Hugh Craig, 'Shakespeare and Authorship Attribution Methodologies', in ''The Arden Research Companion to Shakespeare and Textual Studies'', ed. by Lukas Erne (Arden Shakespeare, 2021), pp. 225–43. For discussion of external and internal forms of attribution evidence, and the order and composition of the Shakespeare canon, see Gary Taylor and Rory Loughnane's book-length study, 'The Canon and Chronology of Shakespeare's Works' in ''The New Oxford Shakespeare: Authorship Companion'', ed. by Gary Taylor and Gabriel Egan (Oxford UP, 2017), pp. 417–602.

Martin Wiggins's (in association with Catherine Richardson) ''British Drama: A Catalogue, 1533-1642'' (10 volumes), is an important resource for information about the plays and entertainments of the period. We have adopted the titles used in the ''Catalogue'' for entertainments (masques, tilts, royal entries, and civic pageants) for ease of cross-reference. Another valuable resource for the print and reprint history of early modern drama, including title-page attributions, is [http://deep.sas.upenn.edu ''DEEP: Database of Early English Playbooks''], edited by Alan B. Farmer and Zachary Lesser.
