Searching for the truth: Scholars had used databases of plays and other writings from the Elizabethan period to search for distinctive words or combinations of words.

Marlowe will be listed as co-author of the three Henry VI plays in the New Oxford Shakespeare, due to be published in several installments over the coming weeks by the Oxford University Press.
