Help[Facts] Thanks Mike! (txt)
in reply to a message by Mike C
I am honoured.
I did however see, that something I wrote as introduction could be misunderstood:
"We have today knowledge of two lost plays (Cardenio and Love 's Labour's Won) and two other plays (Pericles and The Two Noble Kinsmen), which, along with the poetry and sonnets, were not included in the 1623 Folio, perhaps because they were collaborative works"
This makes it sound as if both the plays not in the folio along with the sonnets and poems are collaborative works. Yet, the sonnets and poems are not collaborative works. Only the plays not in the folio were collaborative works. Perhaps you should correct this passage so that it is not so easy to misunderstand.
