- Authors
Merriam, Thomas
- Abstract
The article focuses on the divided authorship of Shakespeare's play "King John," attributing certain sections to George Peele and others to William Shakespeare based on a stylistic analysis using principal component analysis and the frequency of specific words. The author argues that the play's division corresponds to its thematic elements, with Shakespeare handling political aspects, Peele contributing to moral elements, and suggests that this divided authorship.
