Summary:

"New literary and historical evidence demonstrates that five heretofore anonymous plays published or performed during Shakespeare's lifetime are actually his first versions of later canonical works. Virtually all scholars, critics and editors of Shakespeare have disputed the idea that he had anything to do with them. This addition to the Shakespeare canon introduces new authorship debate"-- Provided by publisher.
