New Canon

Theatre Could a new play soon be added to Shakespeare's canon? Apparently some scientists have used some attribution software and have decided that Arden of Faversham fits his writing style. I'll be very pleased if its agreed and added but my one skepticism is that other than an article in Saturday's Daily Mail this has not been big news -- no one else seems to care (yet). If you look at Google News, which is a pretty good gauge of the currency of a story, no one is writing about it. But then, they said that about Watergate once.
