If Shakespeare worshippers have told one story in order to discredit his contemporary rivals, the New Oxford is telling a story that aims to give the credit back...Taylor also once ruled out Marlowe as a co-author for the 'Henry VI' plays; now he says he based that judgment on evidence that has since been disproved. 'If you're an empiricist, when you get new data, you change your mind, ' he told me. 'Unlike politicians, it's a good thing for a scholar to be a flip-flopper.' --Daniel Pollack-Pelzner, The New Yorker
