 Shakespeare Apocrypha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Shakespeare Apocrypha is the name given to a group of plays that have sometimes been attributed to Shakespeare, but whose attribution is questionable for various reasons.
Heminges and Condell were in a position to compile Shakespeare's complete plays, because they, like Shakespeare, worked for the King's Men, the London theatre company that produced all of Shakespeare's plays (in Elizabethan England, plays belonged to the company that performed them, not the dramatist who had written them).
It ought to be simple, therefore, to say what Shakespeare wrote, and what he did not: the plays that were included in the First Folio must be by Shakespeare, and those that were excluded, must be by someone else.

It was only after Shakespeare died that his writings were put together in folios, and these, as well as the original quartos, are what make up the 38 plays now considered to be Shakespeare’s “canon.” Needless to say, so much guesswork leads to a lot of controversy within the Shakespearian community.
Shakespeare’s existence is also a cause for debate, by those who believe the name to be an alias of a contemporary playwright, Francis Bacon, or even Queen Elizabeth herself.
Forgeries of Shakespeare's handwriting have been prevalent since the poets death, the most famous of which was that of William Henry Ireland, who, in the 18th century, forged an entire collection of Shakepeare letters and annotations.

 The Shakespeare Apocrypha
Published in 1600, and attributed to Shakespeare in an 'early' (no date given) bookseller's catalogue, according to the Introduction to Tucker Brooke's The Shakespeare Apocrypha.  Heywood is recorded as having written a play (in fact, two parts) with this title in 1600 - I assume it's the same one.
There was no direct connection with Shakespeare (although the post-1610 editions cited it as part of the repertoire of the Globe Company) until it appeared in the volume in Charles II's library (see Fair Em, above).

 Ward Elliott and Robert Valenza / Debate with Donald Foster
To accommodate such cases where a sizeable Shakespeare work may not be in our baseline, we would add a 5% safety factor to some or all of our ranges and increase the allowable total of rejections for a Shakespeare “could-be” from three to four.
The Shakespeare Clinic was like mining a rich, new Mother Lode of gold -- hard work, but deeply satisfying, right on the steep part of the learning curve, with lots of discovery -- and, if you had to read something closely, it was mostly Shakespeare.
Whether Shakespeare wrote the Elegy is no longer an issue, but it was a hot question in the 1990’s, with American editors saying “could be”, based on Foster’s quantitative evidence, and British ones saying “couldn’t be”, because the poem does not sound like Shakespeare, and because they don’t trust quantitative evidence.

 The URL of Derby - Apocrypha
As Shakespeare had long been an actor as well as a playwright, it is incredible that any contemporary Londoners interested in the drama should not have known the company for which he wrote and acted.
Surely no London playgoer would in 1607 have taken for Shakespeare's a play which, though said to have been written by "W.S.", was further declared to have been acted by the Children of Paul's.
A tradition of much later date [ah, he finesses it] than the one just cited tells us that Queen Elizabeth was in the theatre one evening when Shakespeare was personating the part of a king, and, in crossing the stage moved politely to the poet without the honor of being duly recognized.

A: I have only ventured once into the Shakespeare apocrypha with Sir Thomas More (1964) but it is interesting that the Elizabethan playwrights contributed to each others' plays rather like there are multiple writing credits these days for screenplays on film and television.

The CMC Shakespeare Clinic has applied a battery of 52 computer-based tests to plays by 17 claimed ``True Authors'' of Shakespeare's work, to 27 plays of the Shakespeare Apocrypha, and to all of the plays of the Shakespeare Canon.
Its assignment from the Shakespeare Authorship Roundtable was to find out which, if any, of the 37 testable claimants on the Reader's Encyclopedia of Shakespeare's list actually matched Shakespeare.
Two long-accepted plays in the Shakespeare Canon, Titus Andronicus and Henry VI, Part 3, don't match the rest and appear to have been written, in substantial part, by someone other than Shakespeare.
