\"\"<\/p>\n

In 1599, an anthology of 20 poems was published under the title\u00a0The Passionate Pilgrime<\/em> and attributed to “W. Shakespeare.” Only 5 of the poems have been confirmed as Shakespeare’s – two were later published along with his sonnets and three were included in the play Love’s Labours Lost <\/em>(Smith, 1974).<\/p>\n

4 other poems have been confidently attributed to Richard Barnfield<\/a>, Bartholomew Griffin<\/a>, and a joint effort between Christopher Marlowe<\/a> and Sir Walter Raleigh<\/a> (Smith).<\/p>\n

This leaves 11 poems originally attributed to Shakespeare with unknown authorship. Stylistic analysis<\/a> by the Shakespeare Clinic at two of the Claremont colleges in California in the late 1980s and early 1990s claimed that 8 of the unattributed poems may have been Shakespeare’s work. They found that these poems were, based on their model, more like Shakespeare’s poetry than 83% of his confirmed work<\/em> (Elliot and Valenza)<\/p>\n

Our aim with this project is to attempt to attribute authorship of the unknown poems by comparing the stylistic fingerprints of poetry by Shakespeare and his contemporaries.<\/p>\n

We have acquired bodies of work by William Shakespeare (his sonnets<\/a>,\u00a0Venus and Adonis<\/em><\/a>, and\u00a0The Rape of Lucrece<\/em><\/a>), Richard Barnfield (The Affectionate Shepherd<\/em><\/a>), Bartholomew Griffin (Fidessa<\/em><\/a>), and Christopher Marlowe (his selected works<\/a>). All text files have been acquired from Project Gutenberg and are under the public domain.<\/p>\n
