Reviews"If Shakespeare worshippers have told one story in order to discredit his contemporary rivals, the New Oxford is telling a story that aims to give the credit back...Taylor also once ruled out Marlowe as a co-author for the 'Henry VI' plays; now he says he based that judgment on evidence that has since been disproved. 'If you're an empiricist, when you get new data, you change your mind,' he told me. 'Unlike politicians, it's a good thing for a scholar to be a flip-flopper.'" --Daniel Pollack-Pelzner, The New Yorker
