Shakespeare, William. Edward III.<\/em> (The New Oxford Shakespeare: The Complete Works, Modern Critical Edition.<\/em> 477-542.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Note:<\/strong> the Oxford editors say attribution scholarship suggests that of the play\u2019s 18 scenes, Shakespeare wrote Scene 2.90-627, Scene 3, and probably Scene 12. Edward III <\/em>was published anonymously in 1596, but was not included in seventeenth-century Shakespeare folios. The other author, say the Oxford editors, might have been Kyd, Marlowe, or Peele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
