The Critical Legacy of Thomas of Woodstock or Richard II Part One 1870-Present, edited by Michael Egan (Westshore Press, 2024.) 

The anonymous 17^th-century drama known as The Tragedy of Woodstock or Richard II, Part One has excited debate and controversy among Shakespeare scholars for more than 150 years. Did he write it? Or is it just a knock-off by an ambitious plagiarist? This anthology of articles and book extracts introduces readers to both sides of the debate, with selections covering more than 150 years of “Woodstock Studies.” Contributors include J.O. Halliwell, Wolfgang Keller, F.S. Boas, Bertram Lloyd, A.P. Rossiter, Wilhelmina P. Frijlinck, Ian Robinson, Eric Sams, MacDonald P. Jackson, Rainbow Saari, and editor Michael Egan.
