The work delves into the debate on the authorship of the play "The Two Noble Kinsmen," often attributed to both William Shakespeare and John Fletcher. Spalding examines both external historical evidence and the internal stylistic characteristics of the play, ultimately seeking to affirm Shakespeare's involvement in its creation. The opening of the essay sets the stage for a thorough investigation, addressing the uncertainties surrounding the attribution of "The Two Noble Kinsmen" to Shakespeare. Spalding notes the importance of external evidence of authorship, acknowledging that some plays historically associated with Shakespeare may not belong to him, while others may be left out. He emphasizes the significance of the play being publicly credited to both Shakespeare and Fletcher upon its publication, despite showing signs of a distinct Shakespearean touch in language and style. Moreover, he reflects on the peculiarities of Shakespeare's literary voice in comparison to Fletcher's, establishing a framework that suggests an analytical, comparative approach to understanding the authorship debate.
